The stage towards Goms takes you along the young Rhone to Oberwald.

Enjoy the tranquility of nature and the sunny high valley.

One last visit to Stockalper Castle and one of the restaurants in Brig and your tour can begin. The first stretch from Brig to Mörel is on the main road and is a bit noisy for some tastes. From Mörel we continue to the municipality of Grengiols, with a bit of luck you will see the famous "Grengjer Tulip". From Grengjols we continue to Ausserbinn. Mineral fans - the Binntal is known for its variety of minerals - feel just as at home on this section as cyclists and motorcyclists. From here we continue towards Mühlebach. Mühlebach and Ernen are connected by the "Goms-bridge", which you cross by bike and you are at Mühlebach train station.

Directions

Die Erste Strecke von Brig nach Mörel führt auf der Hauptstrasse und ist für manchen Geschmack etwas laut. Von Mörel geht es weiter zum Gemeindegebiet Grengiols, mit etwas Glück siehst du noch die berühmten "Grengjer-Tulpe". Von Grengjols aus geht es weiter nach Ausserbinn. Mineralien-Fans – das Binntal ist bekannt für seine Vielfalt an Mineralien – fühlen sich auf diesem Abschnitt genauso zuhause wie Velo- und Motorradfahrer. Von hier aus geht es schon weiter Richtung Mühlebach. Mühlebach und Ernen werden von der "Goms-bridge" verbunden, diese überquerst du mit dem Fahrrad und schon bist du beim Bahnhof Mühlebach.
