영창 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Rosswald lies on a relatively narrow ridge at 1,800 meters, high above Brig. The paved road ends in the center of the village, around which many chalets nestle. Two restaurants (Parkplatz and Adler) directly in the village and two more just outside (Fleschboden and Bortelhütte) offer stunning views of the Rhone Valley and the Bernese Alps opposite, inviting visitors to stop for a break before or after their ascent. As early as the 1950s, this sun-drenched village was made accessible by cable car. The artificial lake just above Rosswald is a popular spot, used in winter for artificial snowmaking on the ski slopes and in summer as a rest area. Several official mountain bike routes also pass through Rosswald, such as the Valais Panorama Bike (Route 81) and the Rosswald Bike Route 780.

The Saflisch Pass, at over 2,500 meters high, can be reached by bike, but it's a real challenge. From Binn, you have to climb over 1,100 meters in altitude over a distance of about 14 kilometers. The higher you go, the wilder and quieter it becomes. A fantastic crossing that demands a lot but is equally rewarding!

Many old and picturesque houses line the large stone fountain in the middle of Ernen's village square. Their foundations are mostly made of stone and adorned with detailed frescoes, while the upper floors are constructed of wood and decorated in other ways. Together, they create a truly picture-perfect scene! The village's appearance has already been awarded the Wakker Prize and is of national importance. A stop at one of the village pubs is definitely worthwhile!

Very nice view of the Glishorn, the local mountain of Brig-Glis.

A beautiful climb from Grengiols to the Breithorn. A good, paved forest road. Also easily doable on gravel. A steady gradient, and in summer, plenty of shade in the forest.

I did the gravel descent from the Breithorn to Visp with 36 mm tires. It was a bit limited on the upper section; it wasn't very comfortable. From the middle of the descent, the road quality improves. It's still totally doable, but next time I'll go for 40 mm tires. We did the gravel climb from Binn via the Saftlital. Honestly magnificent, a bit steep, but nothing totally insurmountable! We stayed at the Auberge Heiligkreuz, which is highly recommended for a two-day tour to enjoy the region.

Wayside cross for hikes towards Simplon Village and Simplon Pass.

I was lucky enough to marvel at more, less, or all of the viaduct as the clouds drifted by, changing the view every second. It's truly impressive what they built back then, given the circumstances. 👌🏻 There's a picnic area above.
