Bike route for the whole family with detours to all Goms villages between Nieder- and Oberwald. 

This relaxed circular route takes about three hours and can be started in any village between Nieder- and Oberwald. Cycling through all 12 Goms villages, past historic houses, majestic churches, impressive landscapes and other sights. The circular route is technically easy and partly follows Bike Route No. 1 and asphalted and gravel side roads. It can also be shortened as desired. Simply take your bike on the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway and comfortably ride along. With the right breaks, it almost pedals itself: restaurants, hotels and cafés along the route offer local specialties, snacks for a small hunger and refreshing drinks for thirst. On hot days, the bathing lake in Geschinen invites you to cool off.
