The bike training route is considered a technically demanding circuit. It originated thanks to the "Bike Race Goms", which is regarded among insiders of the cross-country scene as a special event. At a fast pace, the biker sweeps over lush mountain meadows and tricky single trails in the descending mountain forest. The perfect route to work on your own fitness.

Safety guidelines

Use of bike and bicycle paths is at your own risk. The Obergoms Tourism AG rejects any liability and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website. 

Carry a bike map with you or download the complete description of the bike path with a large scale map. During your route, it is advisable to use only marked paths and roads. Respect the rules of Swiss road traffic and observe all signposts and instructions – for your own safety, for the protection of the landscape and out of respect for wildlife. Behave considerately toward other path users. Take your waste and the waste of others with you.

Weather conditions can change very quickly and without warning in the mountains. Appropriate clothing and enough provisions (food and drink) are very important. In case of unstable weather, it's better to turn back early.

Carry additional sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even when the sky is overcast.

Plan your route carefully and thoroughly. Inform yourself in advance about the current conditions and weather situation. The summer report www.goms.ch/sommersportbericht provides valuable information from the region.
