Itinerary

The Furka Pass is 2,429 metres above sea level and, on the way there, you’ll pass by the smallest village in Switzerland and find traces of Sean Connery, who lived in this area during the filming of ‘Goldfinger’ in 1963, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe as the trail snakes along. From its highest point, the route leads to the glacial world of Valais and the source of the river Rhône.

After the sparse but nonetheless stunning scenery within the Furka Pass comes the picturesque landscape of Goms. From Ulrichen, the route descends through riverside forests, deserted valleys and old mountain villages to the warm Valais vineyards.

The Grand Finale! From wine to ice cream, from the warmth of Valais to Switzerland’s famous landmark … the final stage towards the Matterhorn is a more than 1,000-metre trail, leading steadily uphill from Brig and through the Mattertal valley.

Tour character

This multi-day tour is perfect for e-mountain biking. As the routes involve a great deal of altitude change, this can be made more enjoyable with electric assistance. The tours themselves lead along natural paths, asphalt and easy trails. Technically, this tour is no problem for experienced bikers.

Leave the car at home! For every bike, biking or hiking tour in Switzerland, you will receive an SBB coupon per participant, which you can use to deduct CHF 10.- from the ticket price for traveling by train. The reduction can be obtained in the SBB online store or in the SBB app.

On many trips, we use the luggage counters at the stations at the beginning and at the end to hand over the suitcases. You can conveniently combine this right away when you arrive by train. If you are a GA owner, you can provide this information when booking. We will credit you the amount on the invoice. If you don't need the coupon for the trip itself, you can use it during the year.
