The Rote Meile (Red Mile) is a walking trail that leads over the former Furka-Oberalp train route.

The old Furka-Oberalp route in Naters was transformed into a pedestrian and recreational zone in stages between 2009 and 2012. Today, countless walkers and strollers enjoy the 2.5 km new backbone every day. The Red Mile is car-free and is perfect for a leisurely stroll with the whole family.

Where did the name Red Mile come from?

The "fil rouge" owes its name to the red colour of the plastic flooring and stretches from the old Furka-Oberalp train bridge between Brig and Naters to the railway station in Bitsch.

Also an experience for cyclists and wheelchair users

The Red Mile is a barrier-free path and is also equipped with larger meeting areas at two points.

The FO-Kaffee

The old Naters railway station has been converted into a cosy FO-Kaffee. A large square in front of the café invites young and old to linger and offers ideal conditions for smaller events.
