You're so right. And to emphasis, the point, here's some photographs from today's mountain bike ride, showing the paucity of Switzerland compared to Sussex.
We got the train to Aigle, to do the MTB route 68 up to Les Diablerets. It starts off on minor roads, roughly following the mountain train up to Les Diablerets, but then there's some gravel forestry/logging tracks:
with some singletrack through the forests:
We couldn't do the whole route up to Les Diablerets, as we didn't have time. I had to fly back to the UK this evening, with @Cycliste 's mountain bike, which is wintering in the UK due to the fact that Swiss mountains are rather more suited to skiing than mountain biking in the winter. So we had to get back in time to pack @Cycliste 's mountain bike in the bike box and then get it down to the train station for the journey to the airport, and I had to get there in time to check it in.
So we bailed out at Le Sepey, and returned to Aigle down the valley road. Happily, we did have time for a cheese fondue and a couple of (small) bottles of Chasselas on the way down, sitting on the terrasse of the Relais de Vuargny.
A shortish ride, but a good one.

That's nothing compared to Sussex. You've got nothing. Your photographs sully this thread, such is their poverty.
