Description
From Gampel, take the cable car to Jeizinen and start your adventure with a descent of around 900 metres. Ride along historic roads, then through the Furuwald forest, before reaching an old ruined building that you can ride through. The route continues in the panoramic Pitschwald forest. Technically demanding passages over boulders and roots await you, while the view opens up over the valley. Once you have mastered these sections, take a short detour to the village of Bratsch and visit the "Rhone Terrace" observation platform near the church. The last section offers some technically challenging passages and a few hairpin bends, before continuing along the Jeizibärg path with its flowtrail. Enjoy a leisurely final stretch of your tour by following the path from Gampel to Jeizinen. Watch out, this trail is also used by many hikers.
Our favorites
Our favorite itineraries are part of a selection of the best routes in the region and are proposed by Valais/Wallis Promotion to best meet the expectations of our guests.
Turn-by-turn directions
The route is signposted in one direction only:
Jeizinen - Obri Zälg - Bratsch - Gampel.
The first stage takes you along the Jeizibärg path to "Oberi Zälg". You then branch off to the west and cross the Furuwald forest. After passing a ruined building, several technically demanding passages over rocky ground follow back-to-back. You will be obliged to push your mountain bike in two sections, secured by a steel cable, for about 30 metres and then 20 meters more. Continue on the path from Bratsch to Gampel until you reach the junction with the wider Jeizibärg path, which is also very popular with hikers and therefore requires attention and respect. It is strongly recommended that you use your bell on this section. Finally, follow the Jeizibärg path, passing by a beautiful chapel and several sculptures along the wayside, to the village of Gampel. A left/right separation between hikers and cyclists offers additional safety.
