Sponsorship of hiking trails in Goms.
 

Giving something back to Goms
 

Do you enjoy spending time in unspoilt nature and love exploring the high valley on foot? Would you like to give something back to the Goms region? Then you've come to the right place – we're looking for you. Your contribution will help to secure the dense network of hiking trails in the Goms region for the long term. The idea is that you will maintain a hiking trail that you enjoy walking. It's caring by hiking, so to speak. Here you can combine a good cause with a beautiful hike.

 

 

 

 

 

WHY?
 

One of the things that makes Goms special is its network of hiking trails, which covers around 400 kilometres. The trails are maintained by the Goms forestry service. This means that hiking fans can always choose from dozens of safe and varied routes in the high valley. The cost of maintaining the hiking trails is enormous, and external support would greatly relieve the burden on the Goms Forestry Office staff, allowing them to devote more of their working hours to innovation and larger projects. That is why we have launched hiking trail sponsorships.

HOW?

Before your next hike, find out what minor maintenance work needs to be done along the route and spend a few minutes on the trail to get it ready for summer. In addition to helping the Goms forestry department, this project also gives visitors and locals alike a glimpse behind the scenes, raising awareness of nature conservation and landscape management.
