Mountain biking in Switzerland must become responsive, and this requires a lot of work behind and in front of the scenes. Every mountain biker should make his/her contribution so that the organisations can get involved, cooperate, discuss and be successful.
Mountain biking has become a popular sport in Switzerland and has even overtaken football! However, the infrastructure, the understanding of us and the legislation are lagging behind. Together we can make a difference – the IMBA Switzerland is working on a national level for the mountain bike recreational sport, for the infrastructure and the community. This requires resources and your voice!
As an individual you should join a local, regional or cantonal member organisation. You are very welcome to support us directly with a patronage or donation.
| Support | Individual | Organisation |
| Patronage (yearly) | min. 45.- CHF | min. 125.- CHF |
| Donation (1x) | min. 10.- CHF | min. 10.- CHF |
With every amount we can tackle more projects, use more resources and generally give more weight to the voice of all Swiss mountain bikers! With your support we can work as follows:
- Representation of mountain biking interests at national level
- Solution- and consensus-oriented approach to the Swiss mountain bike challenges
- Participation in national working groups of ASTRA, SwitzerlandMobility, Swiss Hiking Trails and more
- Projects with a focus on the environment, tourism and local recreation
- Networking of the stakeholders involved
- Establishment of national association structures
- Development of important basic principles
- Media work

Members Organisations
Membership is only possible for companies, organisations, associations and societies, there is no membership for private individuals. As a private person you should join an existing organisation or found a new one.
We distinguish between three different membership categories:
| Members Organisation | Membership fees (annual) |
| Mountain bike organisation | per active member: 2.- CHF |
| Associate member | min. 500.- CHF |
| Mutual member | 0.- CHF |
Mountain bike organisation
Primarily the cantonal mountain bike organisations should be members of IMBA Switzerland. Where there is no cantonal representation or the organisations of a canton cannot agree on a representation, the membership of a regional or local organisation is possible.
The fee is 2 CHF per registered active member.
Associate member
Associate members are national associations, institutions, federal offices, foundations, organisations, companies, etc. that have a connection to mountain biking.
The contribution depends on the interest and the financial possibilities of the organisations / companies and is determined by the board. The minimum contribution is CHF 500.
Mutual member
Mutual members are national associations that have a connection to mountain biking and represent the same or similar interests as IMBA Switzerland.
No fee is charged. In return, IMBA Switzerland takes a seat as a member in the partner association.
