From Raron, the cable car takes you up to the next stage destination, i.e., Unterbäch. If you want to enjoy theValais mountain sun a bit longer, you can add a few more laps to the Flowtrail Leukerbad at the top of the first gondola in Rinderhütte before heading towards Untere Feselalp on a balcony trail.
Unterbäch – Grächen
A chairlift takes you up to Brandalp. From here you have to cycle uphill to reach Moosalp. After enjoying the beautiful view, it will be time to take a deep breath because the descent on the Kalpetran Enduro Trail has a lot to offer: you will conquer almost 1,100 metres drop in no time on the beautiful trails.
Once you reach the valley floor, follow the Matterhorn Valley Trail to St. Niklaus and cycle up to the stage destination Grächen.
Follow the tracks of the 2019 UCI Mountain Bike Marathon Championships down to Kalpetran and on the valley floor to Stalden.
The cable car takes you up to Gspon, from where a beautiful trail takes you through Sädolwald to the Gibidum Pass. A comfortable trail leads you from the pass down to the wild Nanztal Valley.
You can take a short break at Nidristi Alp before the final trail takes you to the final destination, i.e., Brig. Individual departure from Brig.
Tour characteristic
Large part of the altitude is covered by cable car. The descents are long at times – basic fitness is necessary. Averagely trained bikers can also cope well with the trails. The Valais Bike is under development and signposts have not been put up everywhere yet. You will need to navigate as you go using the SwitzerlandMobility app.
