Rhone Route

Bicycle tour

Open
The cycling route runs between Blitzingen and Grengiols through the Binntal landscape park. The regional nature park is famous for its minerals, flora and intact sites. Niederwald, Mühlebach and Ernen are among the most attractive Valais villages.

Goms, the broad valley of the young Rhone, here called the Rotten. Insect-rich flower meadows and a tangy resin aroma are your constant companions through the sunny high valley, before bikes are pushed up through a steep gorge to Brig.

More informations

Pushing section: 1.5 km Ausserbinn-Hockmatta (historic path through Binnaschlucht gorge).
Beware: busy main roads Mörel–Bitsch (roundabout). Alternative: load on train Fiesch–Brig, please note rail recommendation No. 13.

Hamlet of Hockmatta

The attractively situated hamlet of Hockmatta was first mentioned in 1393 and stands on a once-busy track from Grengiols to Albrun. The few residential and utility buildings encompass an square-like interior, and there is a chapel on its west edge.

Historic village Mühlebach

Make a stop in the small hamlet and look at the sunburned houses: Mühlebach has the oldest village centre in Switzerland of timber construction. Here there is a signposted house trail leading to objects worthy of seeing.
