Road cycling holiday hidden treasures at Upper Valais - Rhone Valley

Arrival and luggage drop-off in Leuk. You’ll enjoy the first few quiet kilometres through the Pfyn-Finges nature park, before catching a glimpse of the roofs of the town of Sierre. This is followed by a ride along the vineyards to the village of Agarn, where the first few metres of ascent await you into the Turtmann Valley (Tourtemagne).

The descent into the Rhone Valley is a reward for all your efforts so far, before the last climb of the day through the vineyards and the Dala Gorge. Your day ends in Susten (La Souste). 

You’ll soon leave the Rhone-biking path, to climb up the winding road to the Moosalp Pass. Enjoy the view and take deep breaths at the top because the descent to Visperterminen is breathtaking. To end off this leg, you’ll pass right near the Brigerbad hot springs.

You can give your tired legs a little rest today. A gentle ascent takes you to the Gibidum dam wall, an  imposing edifice at the foot of the Aletsch glacier directly above the Massa gorge.
