If you're in the mood for some mountain biking fun on the Switch, then you're going to want to check out Lonely Mountains: Downhill when it bunny hops onto Nintendo's portable powerhouse in May. It was the winner of ‘Best Indie Game’ at the German Developer Awards and was nominated for ‘Excellence in Design’ at the 2020 IGF Awards, so it goes without saying that this is a rather lovely game.

Here's some info from the press release to get you up to speed:

Ride any way you like – reckless and fast or careful and slow - and feel the thrill while progressing downhill. Lonely Mountains: Downhill is a mountain biking game where it’s just you and your bike with the objective of successfully getting downhill.
