Obergesteln

Obergesteln has served as an Alpine farming settlement in Upper Valais since the Middle Ages. It stands in the high Goms valley beside the young Rhône, on the route towards the Furka Pass, a historic crossing between Valais and Uri. Traditional timber farm buildings reflect the practical architecture developed for long winters in this mountain region. The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn follows the valley floor, linking Obergesteln with other communities in Goms and with the wider Swiss rail network.
