Description

The Mossmattentrail is part of the Valais Panorama Bike. This route starts at the Grimsel Pass and leads through the entire Valais. The trail takes you from Ulrichen train station over well-ridable forest roads to Chäller at 1879 meters above sea level, where the path turns into a newly built uphill single trail. From there, you have to push your bike partially to the highest point at 2068 meters above sea level. The following traverse in front of a breathtaking backdrop makes every biker's heart beat faster and leads over flowing trails, hairpin bends, and partially soft forest ground to Geschinen train station. From Geschinen, you return via the official bike path to the starting point in Ulrichen.

Turn-by-turn directions

The route starts at Ulrichen train station. First, follow the hiking trail towards Nufenen Pass. Just before the small bridge crossing the Aegina stream, leave the hiking trail and cross the Nufenen Pass road to reach the forest road (point 1583). From here, follow the forest road to the end at Chäller (point 1879). Here starts the uphill trail. You will have to push the bike at times. At a small alp at 2050 meters above sea level, the flowing and varied trail begins, first slightly rising, then gaining altitude. Follow the trail to a hiking trail intersection and turn northeast. Here starts a flowing downhill trail to Geschinen. In Geschinen, you either ride along the Rottenvelo path directly back to Ulrichen or first follow the bike path towards Brig to Münster, make a detour through the village, and return via Geschinen to Ulrichen, at the starting point of the route.
