Valais

Take in the very best of Switzerland on this exciting 7-day itinerary. Travelling by rail throughout, marvel at the diversity of bustling cities and shimmering lakes; from snow-capped mountain peaks to palm-tree lined streets. With panoramic carriages, these trains and destinations truly offer something for everyone.

Fendant, Malvoisie or Heida are just a few of the most famous wines of the Valais. The grapes of these noble wines ripen in the plain between Martigny and Leuk, through which the Chemin du Vignoble passes. Along this path you will discover homely wine taverns, typical wine villages and some of the steepest vineyards in the world. Not only are the grapes that ripen along the Chemin du Vignoble unique - the walk itself is a real treat.     

On this journey, you will experience a nostalgic steam ride combined with a technical masterpiece of the route. The journey leads from Oberwald over the Furka Pass to Realp. The alpine landscape with the Rhone and Mutt glaciers provides the backdrop.

The Jungfrau-Aletsch region has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001. 23 kilometres of ice stretch here from the Jungfrau down into the Valais, making the Aletsch Glacier one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the Alpine region. But on this hiking tour, the focus is not only on the eternal ice. You will hike over suspension bridges, visit the Aletsch forest, which is a protected nature reserve, and spend the night in mountain inns in the middle of the Valais mountains.

Snow-white mountain peaks, sunny valleys and the idyllic Alps: there are countless reasons to visit Valais, but the one that attracts bikers to the south of the Alps the most is the innumerable singletrails.

From the plateau of Crans-Montana, the route leads you on scenic paths to the baths of Leukerbad and then to the sunny alps on the south side of the Rhone Valley.

A short detour into the Mattertal and a flight of fancy over the Gibidumpass will then take you to the Stockalper Palace in Brig, where the bike tour comes to an end.
