Goms celebrates 152 kilometers of trail fun
With the completion of the construction work, Goms presents an officially signposted bike trail network with 152 kilometers. The new routes are part of the national St. Gotthard Four and Five Passes Bike routes as well as the Valais Panorama Bike. In recent years, existing trails have been extended or newly created to make them suitable for biking, with a focus on durable, natural construction.
Over one million francs are being invested in the project, which is being funded by the municipalities of Obergoms and Goms, with support from Bikeplan, Forst Goms, Vast Trails and cantonal authorities. Tourism Director Samuel Hofmann is convinced: "With the new trails, we are creating an attractive offer for our guests and strengthening value creation in the region. Several accommodations are already certified bike hotels, and autumn offers will also extend the season."
The coexistence of all trail users remains a key concern. The Destination Goms is joining the cantonal "Fairtrail" initiative and is using the "Fairdinand" project to raise awareness for considerate coexistence on the bike and hiking trails.
The operation and maintenance of the trails is now being handed over to Obergoms Tourismus AG. This is financed by visitor taxes, donations and voluntary work.
