The essentials at a glance

Mountain bike tour through the Valais Alps from Brig to Sierre. Moderate difficulty with daily distances of 25-41 km including singletrails. Cable car rides to high alpine terrain, spectacular descents through Lötschental valley, past Lac de Moiry reservoir to mountain villages like Grimentz. Includes daily luggage transfers, breakfast, and SwitzerlandMobility-Plus subscription.

Lötschental & Val d'Anniviers

A stone's throw from the bustling centre of the canton of Valais, the largely unspoilt Lötschental awaits you. Here you fight your way up along narrow roads, but the effort is well worth it, because once you reach the top, fantastic panoramas await you. The ride back to civilisation takes you first along lonely trails before you return through vineyards to lively Sierre.

Too much hustle and bustle? Then the lonely Val d'Anniviers is just right. To get in the mood, a trail along the valley flank, as the main course a detour to the barrier lake Lac de Moiry and a beautiful descent down to Grimentz. Finally, the tour will end in Sierre. The two valleys will inspire you!
