Stockalperweg

Stockalperweg

The Stockalperweg is the historic route over the Simplon Pass and, combined with the PostBus, is also perfect for mountain bikers.


Description

In the early morning, take the PostBus to the Simplon Pass and start the tour here. Always follow the signposted Stockalper route in the direction of Simplon Dorf and Gondo. The path leads over single trails throughout, is nice to ride and varied. Shortly before Gondo, the trail leads through an old military tunnel. At the border village of Gondo, you board the post bus again and ride back to the Simplon Pass. Here you enter the second part, the descent back to Brig. The path towards Tafernabach is rough, technical and interspersed with tight hairpin bends in the upper section. Further down, it becomes smoother and smoother until you start the counter-climb to the pass road in Grund. Once you reach it, follow the old road for a few meters and then take the world-class single trail high above the Saltina Gorge to Brei and on to Brig.

No, no headlamp, the fortress is illuminated.
