Spotguide Aletsch - Goms
The Aletsch Goms MTB region is located in the uppermost part of the extensive Valais region, with the catchment area for mountain bikers stretching from Brig via Fiesch up to the Furka Pass. The Aletsch region with the popular destinations of Bettmeralp, Fiescheralp and Riederalp is particularly well-known as a mountain bike area. The backdrop with the Aletsch Glacier is unique, the network of single trails is very extensive, but so is the number of people who are mainly on foot here.
Those who want to take it a little easier will get their money's worth in Goms. The picturesque high valley between Fiesch and the Furka Pass offers mountain bike tours of a special kind. The motto here for mountain bikers is: small but beautiful. The possibilities are not as numerous as in other regions of Valais, but the trails available are top class. Compared to other mountain bike hotspots in Valais, Goms may be smaller, but it is all the more exclusive.

Best season
Getting there
The ideal way to get to the Aletsch Goms region by public transport is by train from Brig. From here, the Matterhorn-Gotthard Railway runs hourly through the entire Goms region, with stops in all villages. The trains have ample capacity for bike transportation. The journey over the Grimsel (from Innertkirchen), Furka (from Andermatt) or Nufenen (from Airolo) passes is possible in the summer months by post bus. These have rear racks for bikes with a capacity of up to six bikes per journey.
If you are traveling by private car, the opposite is true of public transport: We recommend traveling via one of the three Alpine passes (Grimsel, Furka, Nufenen) as this makes the journey itself an unforgettable experience. On the other hand, it is also possible to travel via Brig. If you are traveling to the car-free villages of Bettmeralp, Fiescheralp or Riederalp, leave your car on the valley floor and take the gondola to the villages.
