Gommer Höhenweg
Description
The Galmihornhütte is the first destination of the day. It is located 750 meters above the starting point in Münster and can be reached on a gravel road. After the hut, the character changes and you push on to the clearly visible cross 100 meters higher up. This is where the great trail descent begins, which some people know from the classic tour to the Galmihornhütte. Instead of heading directly towards the valley floor, however, you keep to the right, later reaching a gravel road and climbing up this for a short distance until the marked "Gommer Höhenweg" branches off to the left. The character of the high-altitude trail is evident right from the start: a super trail that is soon interrupted by a flow brake in the form of a short counter-climb. This is how the Gommer Höhenweg rides all the way to Bellwald: nice and flowy, then poisonously steep again. For this reason, the route is ideal for e-mountainbikes.
The route rides along the Gommer Höhenweg trail with one short deviation. Bellwald is reached after an ultra-steep (but short) ascent. You ride through the village before heading onto the next trail on the other side. It's a leisurely roll to Egga and later over the ridge above Fürgangen to Fiesch. The last section shows its rough side once again, initially consisting of countless roots, later through stony passages. In this way, you reach the center of Fiesch and have earned a generous refreshment here!Note: The Gommer Höhenweg is a popular hike. The tour should be avoided during the high season.

Sensational tour where, as described, flowing passages alternate with technical stages. Even with an eBike you have to push occasionally, fortunately never for long and easily manageable thanks to the pushing aid. The last few meters down to Fiesch are a pure shaking cup, but even here it was fun. A stop at the Galmihornhütte is highly recommended. With an eBike, good riders can just make it to the highest point after the hut, but without an eBike, pushing is the order of the day. One thing to remember: all pushing and effort passages are rewarded - so it's worth making the effort.
