Brig | Ride MTB

The four-day Valais Panorama Bike is one of the official and signposted MTB routes in Valais (no. 81) and one of the flagship routes. The Ride version is slightly modified with a slightly higher proportion of trails and the tip to complete the tour in three days.

The wild Gredetschtal valley lies far above Brig and, in combination with the trail down from Alp Brischeru and the section along the Oberschta-Suonen, is a great tour with an intercity connection.

The MTB classic Saflischpass can also be ridden in an anti-clockwise direction. In this version, the Rosswald gondola lift provides a great ascent and the Breithorn descent is a first-class, crisp singletrail descent.

The Passo Monscera is something of an "extended version" of the classic route on the Stockalperweg on the Simplon Pass. The tour rides from Brig to Domodossola, returning by train through the Simplon tunnel.

The Simplon Pass is known for the Stockalper Trail, but there are wonderful alternatives heading south. The Simplon South Side Tour combines some of these trails and rides down to Iselle. You can then return to Brig in just a few minutes by train through the Simplon tunnel.

The 3020-metre-high Sparrhorn towers high above Brig and the foothills of the Aletsch Glacier. The summit region is very challenging on a mountain bike, but this is followed by an epic descent down to the town center of Brig.

The descent from Mäderlicke down to Brig is one of the most attractive singletrail routes that Oberwalis has to offer. You have to earn the fun with the ascent from the Simplon Pass to the Monte Leone hut. It's tough, but in an exclusive glacier setting.

The Haute-Route is one of the most challenging and extreme mountain bike tours in Switzerland. Most of the ascents have to be tackled on foot, while the descents ride along technically demanding single trails. The route is as tough as it is impressive: The impressive Valais Alps with their mighty glaciers form the backdrop over the four days.

Belalp lies high above Brig and can be reached by cable car. The village is the starting point for the world-class descent to Birgisch.

The Saflisch Pass is a must for every mountain biker. The tour leads from Fiesch to Brig and impresses with its scenery and single trails.
