Matterhorn Valley Trail Bike Tour (Nr. 20)

Zermatt – Täsch – Randa – Herbriggen - Mattsand – St. Niklaus – Kalpetran –Stalden – Neubrück – Visp train station

The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn is a constant companion along the route and can be used to shorten the tour at any of the different stations.

The tour can also be done in the opposite direction from Visp to Zermatt which is more demanding in terms of physical condition and somewhat shorter. (Duration: about 4½ hours)

We recommend:

• Bike in excellent working order
• Helmet, gloves and (trail) bell
• Repair kit in case of any defects
• Clothing suitable for the weather (always carry a waterproof)
• Food and drink

• Always wear gloves and a helmet.
• Use marked bike trails and routes only, and observe all signposting. Please close gates after passing through.
• Please be considerate to walkers and to plants and animals. As a rule, walkers have priority.
• When planning, take into account participants’ fitness level and ability: some routes lead above 3,000 metres.
• All riding is at one’s own risk.

The riding skills required are moderate over about 90% of the route. It is recommended that less skilled riders consider pushing their bikes along the more difficult sections.

Tip: “Be searchable”. Equip yourself with an additional RECCO rescue reflector*. Whether summer or winter. Available in our Online-Shop or our information desk. *The additional reflector does not replace an avalanche beacon.
