Moosalp Plateau Bike

The tour starts by taking the post bus from Visp to Bürchen. Passing numerous chalets, with a short trail section to the holiday resort Unterbäch and via “Schlüechtgartu” to Eischoll. Through the old village center, the path leads to the Bergstation (mountain station) of the “Striggen” chairlift. With a magnificent view of the “Undri und Obri Senggalp”, the route continues to Ginals. Following is a beautiful trail to “Gibidum”, always with the Bietschhorn in sight. Then begins the descent known in the mountain biking scene as the “Magic Trail”. A prime natural flow trail that winds down to Brandalp. From Brandalp, the tour continues on a gravel road to the sunny spot Bürchen. If you still have enough strength in your legs, tackle the approximately 500 meters of elevation to Moosalp via the idyllic mountain road. Otherwise, you can also take the post bus to Moosalp. Right at Moosalp, with views of the Saaser and Matter valleys and their numerous 4000-meter peaks, the trail fun begins. Very flowing, easy and clear to ride, the single trail 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 various aspects of former daily life in a Valais mountain village. From Törbel, the trail continues to Zeneggen, described as the sunny mountain village at the entrance to the Visp valley. From there, the route climbs via the nature reserve “Mittlere Hellela” back to Bürchen. The mountain village lies sun-drenched on a high plateau above the Rhone valley. If desired, you can finish the circular tour either via Zeneggen or from Bürchen back to the starting point Visp, with great trails guaranteed on the way down to the valley.
