Ulrichen

Ulrichen lies along the young Rhône in the high Goms valley, where a broad Alpine floor is enclosed by steep, pasture-covered slopes. The settlement is part of the municipality of Obergoms in the German-speaking eastern Valais. At Ulrichen, the road towards the Nufenen Pass turns south, while the Furka and Grimsel passes connect the upper Rhône valley with central Switzerland and the Bernese Oberland. This position has long placed the village on routes across the Alps rather than on Valais’s main urban corridor. Traditional timber houses and farm buildings retain the agricultural character of Goms. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Obergoms and Valais.
