The municipality is served by Ulrichen station, Obergestein station and Oberwald station, all of which are on the Furka-Oberalp line of the Matterhorn-Gotthard railway (MGB).
The low level road route down the Rhone valley to Brig is open all year, but the roads from Obergoms across the Furka, Grimsel and Nufenen passes are open only in summer.
