Future Trail Summit 2026: Experience the future of trail building first-hand

On 30 September 2026, the Future Trail Summit will take place for the second time. This year, the gathering for modern trail and path construction will be hosted by lake.bike at Lake Faaker See.

Experts, trail builders, manufacturers and visionaries from various countries come together to share experiences, discuss new solutions and, above all, demonstrate modern technology in practical use.

When trail building meets modern technology

How can trails be built more efficiently and maintained in the long term? Which tasks can modern machinery take on – and where is the expertise of experienced trail builders still indispensable? These are precisely the questions at the heart of the Future Trail Summit.

The focus is not on theoretical concepts, but on real-world applications in the field. Modern machinery, innovative attachments and new working methods are demonstrated directly on the trails. Experts and experienced trail builders show how technology and manual labour can work together – from new construction and refurbishment through to ongoing trail maintenance.

The focus extends beyond classic mountain bike trails: many of the methods and technologies on display can also be applied to footpaths, as well as forest and farm tracks.

Pfanzelt showcases the Moritz in trail construction

Once again, the focus is on the radio-controlled Moritz machine carrier and the MAXpro technology, developed specifically for professional trail and path construction.

At the very first Future Trail Summit, it was demonstrated how the Moritz, equipped with the MAXpro Stonecrusher, processes existing material directly on site and uses it for trail rehabilitation. The articulated milling rotor makes it possible to work precisely on narrow paths, bends and complex terrain. The system is complemented, amongst other things, by the MAXpro Compactor for the subsequent compaction of the worked surface.

Community Day on 30 September – join us live!

Would you like to experience the machines for yourself, rather than just seeing them on video?

On 30 September 2026, the Future Trail Summit will open its doors to the community.

At Community Day, you can see the machines and attachments in action on the terrain, chat to experts and trail builders, and get a first-hand look at how modern trail building works today.

The venue couldn’t be more perfect: the Faaker Trail Centre (lake.bike) offers a variety of trails and terrain types, providing the ideal conditions for hands-on demonstrations.

Join us at the Future Trail Summit 2026 and experience the future of trail construction, trail maintenance and modern trail upkeep first-hand.

Register now for Community Day and be there in person!
