Bicycle tours through a vineyard in Valais

The capital Sion shows its historic castles, churches and mansions. The lower Rhonetal is dominated by the high-alpine scenery of the Dents du Midi. A world of fertile fruit orchards and vineyards.

French-style joie-de vivre in Sion, the quaint main town, back-breaking work in the hot, steep vineyard slopes, perspiring round bends on tiny, boiling-hot mountain roads, your reward a wine-tasting session to tickle the taste buds and refresh the palate.

An energetic up and down on a steep sun-kissed southern slope, through well-tended vineyards, small wine villages and historic spots such as Saillon with the mini-vineyard of forger Farinet and Chamoson, with the octagonal tower of St-Pierre-de-Clages.

A trip through the most uniform wine region in the Valais, a vigorous up and down along the sun-drenched north flank of the main valley, through carefully cultivated vineyards, historic locations and small wine producing villages that offer wine tasting.
