205-kilometre motorcycle tours through the cantons of Uri, Valais and Bern.

This motorcycle tour is a varied 1-day tour starting and ending in Brig.

Brig is a small town in the heart of Valais. It is characterised by its rich medieval history, written by the ‘King of the Alps’, Kaspar Stockalper. A visit to his ‘castle’ in the centre is a must.

At 205 kilometres, the motorbike tour is not particularly long, but it invites you to stop and marvel all the more. The five, or rather four, Alpine passes and one high-altitude road offer many breathtaking views. The motorbike tour is described in the following order: Brig, Grimsel Pass, Oberaar Panoramic Road, Furka Pass, Andermatt, St Gotthard Pass (if possible: Tremola), Nufenen Pass and back to Brig.
