If you only had two days to discover the most beautiful trails and mountainous landscapes of the Valais, then this vttae experience is for you.

You will start on a glacier at an altitude of more than 3000m, and discover the spa of Loeche les Bains, at the foot of an impressive rocky cirque. You will remain speechless in front of the beauty of the landscapes you will meet, between snowy summits, crystalline lakes, and sumptuous forests of larches. But let's talk about the trails, probably the most beautiful in the region. Natural or perfectly arranged, between alpine pastures with a bare landscape and dense fir forests, you will take immense pleasure on these fast and playful trails, with just the right amount of technique to challenge you.

PROGRAM

CRANS MONTANA - UNTERBACH

Departure at 3000 m for an anthology descent

DISTANCE : 66 km A+ : 1 540 m D- : 4 700 m

From Crans Montana, we will take altitude to the Plaine Morte glacier for a sensational descent to Loeche les Bains. The lunch break will allow us to recharge the batteries of the eMTB for the second part of the day. We will ride on one of the best singletrails of the region. On a nice balcony to start, we will have a fabulous view on the 4000 meters summits of the alps. The itinerary goes through the alpine pastures through old mayens and ends on a playful forest trail. From the bottom of the valley, we will follow the Rhône river to find our hotel in a small hamlet located on the heights. You can either enjoy the view of the Biestshorn or relax in the sauna.

Meals included : dinner

UNTERBACH - BRIG
Incredibly varied and playful singletrack in the forest

DISTANCE : 60 km A+ : 1 860 m D- : 3 500 m

Let's warm up with a good climb on a road shaded by conifers to one of the most beautiful alpine pastures of the region at 2000m above sea level. Take a moment to admire the view of the Rhone valley and the Mischabel mountain range. A nice balcony trail over the valley leading to Zermatt will take us to the start of a long, fast and winding descent to a charming hamlet perched on the mountain, before finishing with a more technical route back to the valley. We'll take a lift to the restaurant where we'll be able to recharge our batteries and taste some excellent local cuisine. The afternoon will be almost exclusively on singletrack. A pleasant climb will take us to the high altitude lake of Gibidum, where the bravest will be able to take a dip. Afterwards, get ready for more than one hour descent towards Brig from where we will take the train back to our starting point.
