Mountain Biking in Switzerland - Mountainbikeland Schweiz

The Swiss national mountain bike route network as of Mountainbikeland Schweiz (SchweizMobil) consists of three national routes and 16 regional routes and 211 local routes.


A very detailed map of the different routes can be found on the SchweizMobil website (for inspiration only, particularly since there are occasionally differences between the sign posted routes and this map and due to copyright issues)

Routes may be marked by tagging each way, but this is not recommended.

I recommend using a Relation per route. Just add a relation to all the ways the route consists of. Relations can be extremely easy added with potlatch or JOSM.


The relations should have the tags listed here (based on a thread on the talk-ch mailing list, slightly extended with source:name and url).

Rendering

Rendered maps use tiles to display the data. They can be used on any device which can display images on screen. The basic approaches are web services are web services (tiles stored on a server, internet connection necessary to view) or offline services (download all tiles first and then store them on the device).

OpenCycleMap
This is an online map with cycle tracks, contours, and bike services highlighted. The tiles are licenced as CC-BY-SA 2.0 and mass use requires an API key (cost depending on usage plan).[1]
Waymarked trails: cycling
Waymarked trails is a online overlay over standard tile layer showing cycle routes. The overlay is licensed as CC-BY-SA 3.0 Germany and mass download is strongly discouraged.[2]
extract.bbbike.org
Bbbike offers an extract service to download tiles and data in various formats. There is also a professional version available using an API key (fee required).[3]
cycle.travel map
A web map with also allows routing. An API access needs individual arrangement[4], no dedicated licensing applies.
Cyclestreets' photomap
The photomap is a web map based on OpenCycleMap but enriched with photos. Uploaders can choose a licence for their files. There are API keys and commercial arrangements are available, too.[5][6]

Even though not specifically for bicyclists, the web maps https://opentopomap.org and https://www.wanderreitkarte.de/ might be useful as well.
