Blitzingen

Built around agricultural settlements beside the young Rhône, Blitzingen grew into a small Alpine community in the Goms district of Valais. The village lies in the upper Rhône valley, where steep slopes rise above a broad floor of meadows and the river’s headwaters lie east towards the Furka region. Goms is a German-speaking part of the canton, and Blitzingen retains the timber-built agricultural character typical of these valley settlements. The Matterhorn Gotthard Railway follows the Rhône through Goms, linking the area with Brig and the Oberalp route.
