Furka mountain steam railroad
a nostalgic adventure trip
I am heavy, black, snarling and hissing. Once discarded, fallen out of time and seemingly worthless. My days seemed numbered, my end sealed. And yet I live. Driving on an iron road. Defy the wind. Delight people. Make children shine. Even turn men into little children. Whoever rides with me forgets time. Learn to see the world with different eyes. I climb mountain valleys. I open up the view of Alpine passes. Bring you closer to the mountain peaks. May I inspire you too? You just have to let me and get on board. Shhhh... I'm the steam locomotive.
Mountain lakes, mountain streams or a heated outdoor pool
Water fun in the open air
Some of the most natural streams and most beautiful mountain lakes can be found in Goms. Water is more than just a lifeline in the Goms. Large rivers such as the Ticino, Aare or Reuss and even a river, the Rhone (Rotten), have their source on one side or the other of the Goms mountains, lakes and glaciers. One of the highest outdoor swimming pools in Valais also awaits you... Where else can you enjoy sun and water like this at 1400 meters?

Theme trails
Knowledge can also be acquired on foot
Caesar Ritz is my friend. I'd love to tell you about him. I know almost everything about the Goms chapels. I'll explain how the protective forest makes Goms habitable in the first place. I'll tell you a lot about the country and its people. And I know why the potato fields in the mountain village of Goms are so tiny. Come on, I'm your theme trail.
Family vacation in Goms
where children can still be children
In Goms, children can still be children. Here, letting off steam and exploring nature on your own is expressly encouraged! Because children don't need a program, they need free time. If you feel like it, spend this time with your children in the playgrounds, on the mini-golf course, on leisure facilities, on pistes and cross-country ski runs, on toboggan runs, with adventure, games and fun. Because there is plenty of it for children in the mountain village of Goms, whether naturally grown or man-made. Have fun with your children. Have fun!
