Ride the Alps - Moosalp
Overzicht
Inleiding
A legendary 16 km, 1,200 m D+ climb between Stalden and Moosalp, on closed roads, offering exceptional Alpine panoramas and a unique cycling experience in the heart of the Valais.
The Moosalp route, offered as part of Ride the Alps, takes cyclists from Stalden to the summit of Moosalp on a route reserved entirely for participants between 10am and 3pm. This 16.3 km alpine climb with 1250 meters of positive ascent leads to an altitude of around 2050 meters.
Right from the start, the road winds its way through typical Valais countryside. Halfway up, it passes through the village of Törbel, with its traditional wooden houses, flower-filled balconies and slate roofs. As the climb progresses, the larch trees become denser, the view opens out onto the plain and the atmosphere becomes increasingly alpine, all the way to the summit, where a well-deserved break awaits participants in a spectacular setting.
For the more motivated, it's also possible to cycle to Stalden from Visp for an extra warm-up. The organization points out, however, that parking near the start is very limited, with the main parking lot located at the Ackersand soccer ground in Stalden.
At the summit and along the route, several gourmet options are available to extend the experience, including the Moosalp restaurant. This ascent combines sporting effort, immersion in the local heritage and the discovery of a remarkable mountain panorama.
