Directions

The first section from Brig to Mörel follows the main road and may be a bit noisy for some tastes. From Mörel, it continues to the municipality area of Grengiols, where, with a bit of luck, you can still see the famous "Grengjer Tulip". From Grengiols, it continues to Ausserbinn. Mineral enthusiasts – the Binntal is known for its variety of minerals – will feel at home on this section just like cyclists and motorcyclists. From here, it continues towards Mühlebach. Mühlebach and Ernen are connected by the "Goms bridge," which you cross by bike, and then you arrive at Mühlebach station.
