Mountainbike: Glacier Bike Tour West
Mountainbike: Glacier Bike Tour
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.
Ulrichen – Brig
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.
Brig – Zermatt
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.
