Col de l'Aprilly – Legendary Mountain Passes

The first kilometres of this long climb of 17 kilometres between Sierre and the Col de Crans-Montana take place in the middle of the vineyards, through small villages typical of the region. After Venthône, you enter into groves of deciduous trees and eventually pine and larch trees take over. From Aminona, the panorama before you is perhaps one of the most spectacular of the Valais. Five summits of more than 4,000 metres of altitude stand on the side of the Rhone Valley, forming the imperial crown of the Valais: the Weisshorn, the Zinalrothorn, the Ober Gabelhorn, the Matterhorn, and the Dent Blanche. This sumptuous view will accompany you all the way to the summit where the restaurant of the Mayen de Colombire provides a well-deserved break!
