Hiking holidays Valais Wine Trail
Hiking: Valais Wine Trail
Fendant, Malvoisie or Heida are just a few of the most famous wines of the Valais. The grapes of these noble wines ripen in the plain between Martigny and Leuk, through which the Chemin du Vignoble passes. Along this path you will discover homely wine taverns, typical wine villages and some of the steepest vineyards in the world. Not only are the grapes that ripen along the Chemin du Vignoble unique – the walk itself is a real treat. 
Arrival to Martigny
Martigny – Saillon
Luggage drop-off in Martigny and bus ride to Branson to the starting point of the hike. Between Martigny and Saillon, you will find yourself in the land of Gamay and fascinating contrasts: at your feet the fully cultivated Rhone Valley, in the distance the glittering snowfields of Mont Blanc. The town of Fully is the capital of the Petite Arvine.
Saillon – Sion
Steep limestone walls tower imposingly over the debris cones at Chamoson. The vines have gravel underneath them and almost burn in the sun. Vétroz is the cradle of the rare grape variety Amigne. Enchanting vine terraces with ancient irrigation channels surround Sion. Guided tour of Sion with wine tasting
Sion – Sierre
A sea of vines surrounds Sion and spills up to the castle-crowned twin rocks of Valeria and Tourbillon. The vine terraces are among the steepest in the world. Easy hiking trail to the Coteaux de Sierre, the largest AOC area in Switzerland. Evening raclette tasting in the Château de Ville.
Sierre – Leuk
A quarter of the Valais Pinot Noir production comes from the Leuk, Varen and Salgesch region. The region is a paradise for nature lovers. Everywhere you can discover new and surprising things. Fantastic view from the hilltop church near Varen.

Tour character
A wonderful hike through the vineyards of the Valais. The paths are well developed and easy to walk on. The sometimes long stages can be shortened without any problems by public transport. Basic fitness is nevertheless necessary. In summer it can get very hot on the plain!
