The flat plain at the edge of the Upper Valais mountain village is ideally suited for a quiet circular route. This winter hiking trail prepared by the piste vehicles of the Loipe Goms has a length of just under 2 kilometers. The circular route in open nature is ideal for a refreshment after a hearty meal, for a Sunday stroll with family members or, quite exquisitely, for an illuminated night walk by full moon. Of course, the trail can also be easily combined with other winter hiking trails. The circular route can also be easily reached via the Rottenweg, Ifangstrasse or even via Oberwald station." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2752019/52eaaa1c962c1bd4bcf9c14ab01af782c38100228fc93ef2dc0791a5a5514165/verschneiter-dorfkern-oberwald.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Goms > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Circular route Matte - Oberwald =============================== - Tip - 1.83 km long - Round trip - Difficulty: easy - Great panorama - Winter hiking Verschneiter Dorfkern Oberwald Bergdorf Oberwald Verschneites Oberwald Winterwandern im Goms Spass während dem Winterwandern Winterwandern entlang malerischer Bergdörfer In unseren Tourist Infos finden Sie kompetente Beratung und Unterlagen zu Ihrem Aufenthalt im Goms Bürli Schiirli Hofladen und Hofbeiz - 0:40 h - 1.83 km - 9 m - 9 m - 1,364 m - 1,372 m - Difficulty: easy - - Start: Oberwald, Dorfstrasse/Schulhaus - Destination: Oberwald, Dorfstrasse/Schulhaus Fancy a little round on the snow?
