Obergoms

The alpine landscape around Obergoms is defined by the upper Rhône valley, high slopes and long winters, which have shaped both its settlement pattern and local economy. The municipality includes the villages of Oberwald, Obergesteln and Ulrichen, set among meadows, forests and mountain routes leading towards the Furka, Grimsel and Nufenen passes. Oberwald is the terminus of the historic Furka Steam Railway, which follows the old mountain line towards Realp. In winter, the Goms valley is known for its extensive cross-country ski trails; summer brings hikers and cyclists to the same high-valley terrain.
