Gämschfax

Obergesteln

The Goms landscape is notable for its broad, open expanse of valley that tapers up steeply on both sides. Pretty as a picture, people say, when they look at the charming villages with their typical wooden houses. Even so, the Goms tends to be undervalued in terms of the skills it demands from passionate bikers. Now, that would be unfair for a place where the cream of Swiss cross-country skiers blaze their trails in the winter snow, or where views of the summer landscape are best appreciated by taking tours through marvellous forests and mountainsides, as you'll agree when you go on a bike ride from Obergesteln to the Gämschfax.
