The slope between Oberwald and Niederwald has a very attractive landscape. This track is particularly suitable for cross-country skiers with sporting ambitions.
The perfectly groomed cross-country ski trail through the snow-covered Goms plateau is situated at an average altitude of 1300 m above sea level. Several variants are connected to the direct Oberwald-Niederwald ski run of 19 km. This is how the total length of 27 km is calculated.
Each village has good access to the cross-country ski trail as well as to the train. This makes it easy to combine an extended day of cross-country skiing with covering certain routes with the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway. With the cross-country pass of Loipe Goms, you can ski for free on the Oberwald-Fiesch route during its period of validity. Even without cross-country skiing equipment!
Near the cross-country ski runs, almost every mountain village offers numerous catering facilities. Take the opportunity and enjoy a warm soup, a homemade fruit cake or something hearty on one of the numerous sun terraces.

Safety guidelines
The Goms cross-country ski trail network is open from 9am to 4pm. The use of the trails is at your own risk. Obergoms Tourismus AG and Loipe Goms disclaim all liability and assume no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website.
Use only marked trails and follow all markings and signs - for your own safety, for the protection of the landscape and in respect of wildlife.
Be considerate towards other cross-country skiers. Every cross-country skier, especially on downhill runs, must adapt speed and behaviour to his ability and visibility. In classic running tracks and on the piste for free running technique, you run on the right side of the piste with an appropriate safety distance to the front runner. If you stop, you step out of the cross-country ski run. Assistance in case of accidents is a matter of course. To alert the rescue service, dial No. 144.
Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing is very important.
The winter sports report keeps you informed about the current conditions (avalanche danger, cross-country skiing, winter hiking trails, snow trails and road conditions).
