MTB GUIDE

BIKE TRIP ALONG THE RHÔNE – VALAIS/WALLIS

We are providing private guiding on local trails

As Enduro enthusiast, living in a region predisposed to MTB, it was natural to develop an activity in this direction. The Valais is known for its pleasant climate and its prestigious mountains. I propose you to discover the most beautiful trails on both Rhône valley sides by using public transport and cablecars in order to ensure an « ascent-descent ratio » that favours the RIDE.

In addition to ride incredible trails, we will take the chance to discover the local « terroir » and many cultural aspects that are very present in the Valais. Fauna & flora, glaciers, meteorology, Walser’s tradition, Kaspar Stockalper, hydro electricity installations, mountain agriculture, local culinary specialities, tradition of wine and vineyards will no longer hold any secrets for you after this stay.

 

There are many options of possible trip. We propose to do the Rhône descent in two trips of 5 days each. The first part will allow you to discover the wonders of the « Oberwallis », from the Furka Pass to Leuk. The second trip will take us from Sierre to the Leman Lake, to discover the « Central » and « Bas-Valais ».
Depending on the riders’ abilities, the season, the snow conditions on high altitudes and the weather, we will adapt these trips to meet your expectations.
There is also an E-bike version of these trips.

We look forward to ride the most beautiful trails in the region with you.
