Spotguide Brig / Visp
The Brig/Visp region in Upper Valais is one of the best the Alps have to offer when it comes to mountain biking. Between Leukerbad and the Simplon Pass, there are great highlights such as the Gibidumpass, the Torrent Trail and the Stockalper Trail - to mention just a few of the classics. The region is also interesting because of the many (small) mountain railroads and the post bus lines to all the side valleys, which can be perfectly integrated into mountain bike tours.
Bucket list
A trail classic: the Staldenruntour from Moosalp via Jungen, Grächen and the Gibidumpass to Visp.
One of the ten best single trails in Switzerland: the Torrent Trail from Leukerbad to Gampel
The Simplon Pass is the starting point for first-class trail tours. These include the Stockalper Trail, for example.
The BLS south ramp from Hohtenn to Brig can often be ridden all year round - and consists almost exclusively of single trails!

Getting there
The ideal way to get to the Upper Valais is by train through the Lötschberg tunnel. This connection is very popular with mountain bikers, which is why there can be capacity bottlenecks at weekends. From Brig, however, there is also a train line via Sion to Geneva, the Simplon Tunnel takes you to Domodossola in Italy, and the Matterhorn-Gotthard Railway takes you through the Goms to Andermatt. If you are traveling to Leukerbad, take the bus from Leuk train station; bike transport is easy.
If you still want to travel by private car despite the first-class public transport connections, you can do so either via the highway from Lausanne and Martigny through the Rhone Valley or via the Lötschberg railroad tunnel with car transport from Kandersteg. From the south, you can also travel over the Simplon Pass, and up the valley you can reach the Brig region through the Goms via the Grimsel, Furka or Nufenen passes.
