3 days: Tour des Alpes
Crans Montana to Zermatt
3 days, 3 nights
Technical Level: Medium | Fitness Level: Advanced
The perfect tour for those who are used to biking, who enjoy a nice challenge in nature and want to experience the most of what the Swiss Alps have to offer. The adventure takes place in the Canton of Wallis. For this purpose, believe us, there is no better destination in the country.
We will bike while admiring alpine mountains which peaks over 4,000 meters high; we will experience authentic Swiss alpine cuisine; cycle through vineyards with castles and also enjoy an incredibly special wine tasting.
Get ready to face 4,600 m elevation gain and 4,500 m of descent. Good physical preparation is necessary; and, we can’t deny it, the effort will be intense. But that’s just as they say, “the greatest beauty and achievement in life does not come easy”. Admiring the impressive Matterhorn in Zermatt at the end of the third day, after all the accomplishment is just something words cannot describe – and this feeling makes every effort worthwhile.
