Moosalp Plateau Bike

The tour begins by taking the PostAuto from Visp to Bürchen. Passing numerous chalets with a short trail section to the holiday resort Unterbäch and via “Schlüechtgartu” to Eischoll. The path leads through the old village center to the top station of the chairlift “Striggen.” With a magnificent view of the “Undri and Obri Senggalp,” it continues to Ginals. Then follows a beautiful trail to “Gibidum,” always with the Bietschhorn in sight. Next starts the descent known in the mountain biking scene as the “Magic Trail,” a first-class natural flow trail winding down to Brandalp. From Brandalp, the tour continues on a gravel road to the sunny spot Bürchen. Those still with enough strength in their legs tackle the approximately 500 meters of ascent to Moosalp on an idyllic mountain road. Otherwise, you can also take the PostAuto to Moosalp. Directly at Moosalp, with views of the Saas and Matter Valleys and their numerous 4000-meter peaks, the trail fun begins. Very flowy, easy, and straightforward, the singletrail leads through a beautiful larch forest to Törbel. Here, a visit to the open-air museum “Urchigs Terbil” is worthwhile. Numerous buildings, such as the original “Walliser-Stadol,” show the various aspects of former everyday life in a Valais mountain village. From Törbel, the trail continues to Zeneggen, described as the sunny mountain village at the entrance of the Visp valley. The route then climbs via the nature reserve “Mittlere Hellela” to Bürchen. The mountain village lies sun-drenched on a high plateau above the Rhone valley. If you want, you can complete the circular route either via Zeneggen or from Bürchen back to the starting point Visp, with great trails guaranteed down into the valley.
