Ride it Out
Mountain biking is to Valais what parkour is to Paris, with 1,600km of official bike routes making this one vast, jaw-droppingly beautiful playground for adventure-seekers on two wheels. Not loving the thought of cycling up a mountain? No problem. Bikes are welcome on mountain railway services. Unsure where to start? We recommend the spectacular Stoneman Trail, which promises unforgettable views of the Unesco-listed Aletsch Glacier and mighty Matterhorn, which, no matter how many times you've seen it on screen, never fails to inspire IRL.
