Visitor Reviews of Goms - Oberwald
- Martin Spahr from Switzerland writes:
The Obergoms, in the Valais high valley, is considered to be the snowiest region in Switzerland. The very cold temperatures also ensure that the snow remains until spring. The very wide trails (classic and skating) are always in top condition. A night trail between Ulrichen and Obergesteln also has its charm. The trails leading through the whole valley (about 20 km) run along the Rhone (Rottu). With the cross-country ski pass, the return journey is even free. Das Obergoms im Walliser Hochtal, gilt an schneesicherste Region in der Schweiz. Die sehr kalten Temperaturen sorgen zusätzlich dafür, dass der Schnee bis in den Frühling liegen bleibt. Die sehr breiten Loipen (Klassisch und Skating) sind immer in einem Top Zustand. Eine Nachtloipe zwischen Ulrichen und Obergesteln hat zusätzlich ihren Reiz. Die durch das ganze Tal (ca. 20 km) führenden Loipen verlaufen der Rhone (Rottu) entlang. Mit dem Loipenpass, ist die Rückreise sogar kostenlos.
