Tour des stations
Overview
Intro
The Tour des stations, an endurance cycling race, represents an exceptional sporting challenge linking several resorts in the Valais in a spectacular setting.
This event offers a challenge that is truly unique : "Measure yourself in one single day by facing the equivalent variation in altitude as that of climbing Mount Everest"! The Tour des stations leads you through the enchanting landscapes of the Valais, from the vineyards to high mountain settings, crossing through natural pastures, small authentic villages and internationally renowned resorts. The event aims to establish itself as a Swiss Granfondo cycling race.
