As a hiking region with over 8000km hiking trails, Valais offers a wide variety of topography. But the region doesn’t forget the fellow bikers. Thanks to the extensive public transport network and more than 100 cableways, mountain bikers have an infinite choice of possibilities for planning their itineraries.

But the region is also the cradle of culture and unique culinary experience such as the Valais Raclette AOP and wine tasting, as it is the biggest wine-growing region in Switzerland.

 

With its unique and diverse landscape, the Valais is a land of contrasts: In the mountains majestic four-thousand-meter-high peaks and fascinating glaciers in the valley along the Rhone – along with sprawling vineyards and unspoilt side valleys.

Valais and the sun – a true love relationship with 300 days of sunshine a year in the sun-kissed valley. And just as the sun’s rays bathe the wonderful unspoilt countryside with its mountains, meadows, vineyards and trees in a glorious light, you too can recharge your batteries beneath the matchless steel-blue skies of the Valais.

Bubbling mountain streams, historic irrigation channels and mystical Alpine lakes; spectacular mountain bike trails meander over mountain slopes and through dense forests and soothing thermal baths provide purest relaxation. Even at the peak of summer you can still ski high up in the glacial world above. And the sun makes unique tasting wines along with other amazing natural products such as sweet and tasty fruit and savoury spices, as winemakers and Alpine farmers put genuine lifeblood into all they see and do.
