Termen/Ried-Brig 

The villages of Ried-Brig and Termen can be found on a natural terrace five minutes by car above the Alpine town of Brig. This is probably why they are popularly known as the Brigerberg (‘Brig mountain’). The two villages are especially popular with tourists in spring and summer. But are they also worth a visit in winter? Find out here.

The villages, which were still primarily agricultural villages in the 1950s, have changed considerably in recent years. The view over the Rhone Valley, the varied, sunny walks, various playgrounds, and well-developed schools and day nurseries make them popular residential communities today. Both villages are well served by the PostBus from Brig train station.

If you decide on a winter holiday in Termen or Ried-Brig, the entire Valais winter offering is available to you. Organise your own ski safari in the surrounding areas of Rosswald, Rothwald, Belalp or Aletsch Arena. You can even do a day trip to Zermatt or Saas-Fee. When winter hiking or snowshoeing on the Simplon Pass or in the Rothwald ski resort, you get to hike through varying (winter) landscapes. We recommend going for a relaxing evening dip at the Brigerbad Thermal Spa, which is only 15 minutes by car from the Brigerberg.
