The most beautiful routes of the Swiss Alps

Impressive stone dams, breathtaking rides through passes and idyllic Valais villages – surrounded by the most beautiful and highest mountain peaks in the Swiss Alps, cycling dreams come true in Valais.

The ride over the Alpine passes is one of the most beautiful road cycling tours in Switzerland. One highlight follows another in Valais.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Brig | Brig – Grimselpass – Oberwald

Follow the course of the Rhone to reach the Goms valley. The Walser villages in Goms are waiting to be discovered as if strung on a string of pearls. You arrive in Oberwald, but the tour is not over yet. The Grimsel Pass is only a stone's throw away for sport cyclists.

approx. 85 km / 2'250 m ascent / 1'560 m descent

Day 2: Round tour of Alpine passes

The most beautiful Alpine passes can be reached quickly from Oberwald. You climb high into the rocky world of the Nufenen pass and whoosh down to Airolo. The following ride up to Gotthard Pass is over cobblestones along the countless serpentine curves and challenges you. You can relax while descending to Hospental. And then it's time for a challenge again, because the Furka Pass at the end of the journey is really tough.

approx. 100 km / 3'025 m ascent / 3'025 m descent

Day 3: Oberwald – Binntal – Leuk

You follow the Rhone route again at the beginning, and it leads you past the most beautiful villages of the Goms. However, the tour is not quite that easy, as a detour into the Binn Valley is on the agenda. The picturesque return journey to Leuk is the successful conclusion of your journey through Upper Valais.

approx. 95 km / 760 m ascent / 1'390 m descent

Day 4: Departure or individual extension

Tour characteristic
