Biking holidays Valais Panorama Tour

After starting at the Grimsel Pass, this stage takes you past the Totesee lake and then along a scenic high-altitude trail to the Üerlichergale alp. From here, you’ll follow a forest road downhill to Ulrichen. This is a good time to make a pitstop, as the route then continues steeply uphill via Chietal to Moosmatte. Once you reach the top, a wonderful single trail leads to Flesche. From there, the route continues downhill through the forest to the Rhône Valley and the village of Reckingen.

Today, you’ll first head south along the Rhône. Shortly after you pass Sand, the route leads away from the cycle path and along an exciting single trail to Egguti. Ernen is the first larger village you’ll encounter along the way, followed by a longer ascent to Alpe Frid.

Then, continue along forest roads and single trails until you get to Z’Mübach. Small trails lead to Mühlebach in the Rappen Valley. You then have a suspension bridge to cross (NB: you have to push your bike across). Then it’s just a short cable car ride from Fürgangen up to Bellwald.

Today begins with a cable car ride up to the Bellwald bike park. The ‘Into the Wild’ trail is a thrilling start to your day, whereas the descent to Ried in the Rhône Valley is a little more leisurely, taking you past the hamlet of Egga and the St. Anna chapel. You’ll already be familiar with the suspension bridge over the Rhône, having crossed it yesterday. Then, a trail leads you through the Twingi Gorge and into the Binn Valley.

This final stage begins with a steady climb towards Brunegge. The last few metres lead over narrow paths to the top of the pass and are quite challenging. Enough so that a break st the top is well earned! Take in the views before the long descent on single trails via Rosswald down into the Rhône Valley. Your arrival in Brig concludes this tour – it’s now time to collect your luggage and depart.
