We recommend:

Use of the bike and bicycle paths is at your own risk. Obergoms Tourismus AG disclaims any liability and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website. 

Carry a bike map with you or download the complete description of the bike route with a large-scale map. During your tour, it is recommended to use only marked paths and roads. Respect the rules of Swiss road traffic and observe all signposts and instructions - for your own safety, for the protection of the landscape, and in respect of wildlife. Behave considerately towards other path users. Take your waste and other people's waste with you.

Weather conditions can change very quickly in the mountains and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In case of bad weather, it is better to turn back early.

Carry additional sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even on cloudy days.

Plan your route carefully and thoroughly. Inform yourself in advance about the current conditions and weather. The summer report https://www.goms.ch/sommersportbericht provides valuable information from the region.
