A circular cycle route for the whole family with detours to all the Goms villages between Niederwald and Oberwald. 

This relaxed circular route takes about three hours and can be started in any village between Niederwald and Oberwald. The cycle route takes you through all 12 villages in the Goms valley, past historic houses, majestic churches, impressive landscapes and other sights. The circular route is technically easy and partly follows cycle path no. 1 and asphalt and gravel side roads. It can also be shortened as desired. Simply take your bike on the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn and enjoy a comfortable ride. With the right breaks, the cycling almost takes care of itself: restaurants, hotels and cafés along the route offer local specialities, snacks for the hungry and refreshing drinks to quench your thirst. On hot days, the swimming lake in Geschinen is the perfect place to cool off.
