The Valais offers an exceptional playground for cycling enthusiasts. The Valais Velo Tour was launched in 2016 to showcase the region's many facets. From signposted cycle paths along the Rhone to panoramic routes through the vineyards and climbs to the side valleys, there's something for everyone: amateur cyclists and sporty riders alike.
If there's just one special feature of the Valais for cyclists, it's the opportunity to climb some legendary passes. There are over twenty of them, including 7 giants at altitudes of over 2000 metres. This concentration of high-altitude passes is virtually unique.
During spring and summer, we invite you to discover the region's most beautiful and highest climbs. Reserved exclusively for soft mobility, you'll be able to climb them in the best conditions and in complete safety. Let's go, folks!
Once again this year, the Ride the Alps series is supported by the Fédération Cycliste Valaisanne. As all the stages are free of charge, participants are invited to support young Valaisan cyclists by taking part in a tombola, where the luckiest person will win a Specialized road bike.
When you register online, or on site at each stage of the series, you can support the young Valaisan cyclists by buying one or more tickets for our super raffle!
