Information

The route starts in the middle of the idyllic mountain village of Grächen and leads at first via Gasenried to Schalbettu. The slightly ascending section partly runs along forest roads and passes through a charming piece of forest. After Schalbettu, the path crosses the Riedbach and after a few hundred meters on the forest road leads into a wonderful trail. This clings to the mountainsides for the first two kilometers and then leads into the Matter Valley. Anyone who is not yet out of breath will be speechless at the view of the high alpine mountain world with classics like Weisshorn and Zinalrothorn – simply breathtaking. From the Balmu area, the descent and trail fun starts. The versatile and varied single trail to Mattsand is of the highest quality and promises endless biker fun. From Mattsand, the return route to St. Niklaus or the connection to the Visp–Zermatt trail (no. 150) is then available.
