The „Line King“ is a connecting route between the „Lord of the Rims“ and the „Vast & Furious“.

The playful singletrail, strewn with stones, runs over 1 km through rocky terrain and offers a breathtaking view. A special highlight is the passage through a 3-meter high split rock. Since the „Lord of the Rims“ becomes even more challenging in the second half, the combination of „Line King“ and the last section of „Vast & Furious“ offers an easier alternative.

Parking

In Bellwald all parking spaces are paid except for the Basper parking lot at the mountain station of the Fürgangen-Bellwald cable car, which is free. The Basper parking lot is located in the lower part of the village. Another parking lot is located very close to the valley station of the mountain railway. There are two large parking areas available here, both of which require a fee.

Public transportation

From Zurich, Bern, Basel, Geneva or Lausanne take the SBB via Visp to Brig. In Brig, transfer to the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn and take it to the Fürgangen-Bellwald stop. There you transfer to the Fürgangen cable car, which brings you directly to the village center. From the village center, a short uphill walk awaits you. Simply follow the signage towards the sports field. This will get you to the Holzer Sport within 10 minutes. Please note that the Fürgangen cable car undergoes maintenance work during the off-season.

If you want to send luggage to Bellwald, it should be sent to the mountain station of the Fürgangen-Bellwald cable car! The transport fee of 2.-, which was due for transport from the valley station to the mountain station, is waived. So you only need to show the receipt at the mountain station and receive your luggage from the colleagues on site.
