Start: Brig
Destination: Mühlebach

One last visit to Stockalper Castle and one of the restaurants in Brig and your tour can begin. The first stretch from Brig to Mörel is on the main road and is a bit noisy for some tastes. From Mörel we continue to the municipality of Grengiols, with a bit of luck you will see the famous "Grengjer Tulip". From Grengjols we continue to Ausserbinn. Mineral fans - the Binntal is known for its variety of minerals - feel just as at home on this section as cyclists and motorcyclists. From here we continue towards Mühlebach. Mühlebach and Ernen are connected by the "Goms-bridge", which you cross by bike and you are at Mühlebach train station.
