Church of Raron (Burgkirche Raron)

Highlight • Religious Site

The site overlooking the village of Raron and the Rhône valley is remarkable. The tomb of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke is located south of the church.

The thermal baths in Brigerbad are the largest open-air and thermal baths that can be found in the Alps. It offers a spacious outdoor area and a recently completely redesigned SPA and wellness oasis. Exactly the right thing to indulge your tired muscles with some relaxation. - If you are no longer willing to pedal one lap on the same day after an extensive relaxation break, there is a campsite with bungalows right next door.

Stockalper Palace

Highlight • Castle

The Stockalper Palace is perhaps the most imposing palace of the 17th century that can be found in Switzerland. Kaspar Stockalper was the builder and owner of his time, hence the name. He was a comparatively unscrupulous early capitalist of his day, who had no shame in bribing, cheating, and buying or selling anything that promised him any profit. It was the envy of his fellow human beings that at some point drove them to exile him from his estate. - In addition to the moral of the story, the really impressive castle remained, which regularly presents itself from its most beautiful side in the sunset and is clearly worth a photo. Incidentally, the best view of this is from the park in front.
