Bummer news out of Wisconsin where Little Switzerland Ski Resort has announced they are permanently closing their bike park after their insurance company dropped coverage for the park. In a statement on Facebook, Little Switz said they were forced into the decision because “alternative insurance options would not make the park economically viable moving forward.” The Bike Park has been open for the past 10 summers and has established itself as one of the best in the midwest. Little Switz is donating any
any features that may be usable to Heritage Trails County Park, located 10 minutes away and have offered any support to Heritage they can provide.
“We are personally saddened by this difficult reality, and wish nothing but the best for the gravity biking community.” -Little Switzerland
Little Switzerland Statement:Â
We have made the difficult decision to permanently close the Little Switzerland Bike Park. Our insurance company has dropped coverage of the Bike Park, and alternative insurance options would not make the park economically viable moving forward.
We want to thank all of our loyal Bike Park customers that have made it a special place. It’s been quite a ride–literally and figuratively–over the last 10 years.
We also want to offer our sincere gratitude to the dedicated build crew that made the Bike Park one of the best in the Midwest. None of it would have been possible without their time, dedication, passion, and effort.
We are donating any features that may be usable to Heritage Trails County Park, located 10 minutes away and will offer any support to Heritage we can.
We are personally saddened by this difficult reality, and wish nothing but the best for the gravity biking community.
