Route description
From the railway station in Lax, take the cantonal road. A short downhill stretch takes you across the Rhône, which at this point is still a wild river, before tackling the climb to the pretty village of Ernen. Take the turning on the right to continue on a relatively flat route that winds its way across the mountainside until it reaches a long avalanche gallery. Cyclists can avoid the latter by following a gravel track of excellent quality that runs along the mountainside. Surprising works of art accompany riders along this 2km stretch. When you reach the exit to the gallery rejoin the cantonal road, which will lead you to the valley’s main settlement: Binn. Bypass the village and continue your exploration of the valley until you reach the village of Fäld. The Binntal valley has plenty of excellent establishments at which to stop for a bite to eat and drink.
Binntal is famous for its precious stones and rock crystals of every colour! Fäld has both a museum and an educational hiking trail devoted to the subject.
Frequent SBB train connections from all over Switzerland to Brig, then MGB (Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn) train or bus to Oberwald.
From Brig, follow the cantonal route 19 "Furkastrasse" for 16km until you arrive in Lax.
Parking at the train station in Lax, follow the local car park routeing.
We recommend: bike in excellent working order, helmet, gloves and bell, clothing suitable for the weather (always carry a waterproof), food and drink.
