Cycle along the Rhone Route No. 1 - the ultimate experience for anyone who loves long e-bike or gravel bike tours. Experience 3 days of cycling fun including luggage transport and discover the majestic Valais mountains, the picturesque Rhone valley and the impressive expanses of Lac Lémans.
You travel individually by train to Saas-Fee. At the Walliserhof Grand-Hotel & Spa, you can relax and unwind on 2,100 square meters. In the evening, enjoy the 4-course gourmet board and be enchanted by the luxurious ambience. After your arrival or after dinner, treat yourself to a stroll through the beautiful mountain village of Saas-Fee.
After a princely breakfast, you have the choice of starting your tour in Saas-Fee and whizzing down the pass road to Visp or beginning your bike tour in Visp. From Visp, you cycle through the charming Valais village of Baltschieder, where the typical black-nosed sheep roam the pastures. The route continues to Raron, the so-called “Rilke village”, which is known for its connection to the poet Rainer Maria Rilke and reflects the inspiring landscape of Valais. You continue on and reach Leuk - from here, there are vineyards as far as the eye can see. The route continues through the unique natural landscape of the Pfynwald Nature Park. You continue to Sierre, the “town of a hundred hills” and enjoy the view of the charming mountain villages of the Val d'Anniviers for the last time before continuing along the river where the “La Navisence” flows into the Rhone. Here, small sandbanks invite you to take a refreshing break. Follow the route with beautiful views of the vineyards to the turquoise waters of Lac de la Brèche and the Pouta Fontana marshland, a paradise for over 160 bird species. You reach the lively cantonal capital of Sion with its impressive rock bastions of Valère and Tourbillon. The legendary Valais headwind could be a bit of a problem here - the nicer the weather, the stronger it blows up the valley, especially in the afternoon. The stage continues past the Aproz Sources Minérales SA mineral water spring, through the orchards and vineyards of the Lower Valais, home to numerous apricots, apples and grapes. An exciting mix of history and modernity awaits you on the outskirts of Martigny. You will be welcomed at the Hotel Vatel. Treat yourself to a delicious Valais white wine as an aperitif and round off the evening with a delicious multi-course meal. For art lovers, we recommend a detour to the famous Fondation Pierre Gianadda.
After a hearty breakfast, get back on your bike to tackle the last stage of your Rhone tour. Continue along the shores of Lac Lémans. A beautiful section stretches between St-Sulpice and Préverenges, where the Venoge, a 38-kilometre-long tributary of Lake Geneva, flows into the lake. Sandy beaches and sunbathing lawns invite you to linger before continuing on to Morges. A traditional market is held in Morges on Wednesdays and Saturdays throughout the year. Leave the old town and reach the lake again in St-Prex. The cycle route then leaves the shores of Lake Geneva again to enjoy the glistening blue of Lac Léman for a few hundred meters at La Pêcherie beach. Once you arrive in Rolle, it is worth visiting the elongated little town with its four-towered castle and bourgeois and winegrowers' houses. Follow the signs towards Nyon and leave Route 1 in Prangins in the direction of the lakeshore. Your destination for today: the Hotel La Barcarolle, directly on the shores of Lac Lémans. Refresh yourself after your arrival with a swim in Lac Léman, thanks to direct access to the lake. In the evening, a multi-course dinner awaits you in the form of Wine & Dine, where you can enjoy a delicious glass of wine with every course.
