A new bike trail opens on the Furka Pass in the summer 2025
The Goms High Valley provided in Valais is closing an essential gap in the trail network with the newly created bike trail from the Furka Pass to Oberwald. As part of the overarching “St. Gotthard Bike Labyrinth” project, the new route offers a varied descent along natural trails with different characters. It will be completed in the summer of 2025.
The trail starts at 2,429 meters above sea level on the Furka Pass—one of Switzerland's highest asphalted Alpine passes—and leads downhill for around 12 kilometers with 1,060 meters of descent to Oberwald in Goms. The Furka Pass can be reached by Postbus from Realp or Oberwald. Mountain bikers can expect a combination of alpine trails and military and forest roads with technically moderate passages. Views of the Rohne Glacier, the Grimsel Pass, and the Goms High Valley provide a varied and photogenic backdrop.
