If you tackle the Col du Lein from Saxon, a winding and scenic ride awaits you. Shortly before the summit, the single-track road turns into firm gravel, which is nevertheless easily rideable even on a road bike.

Col du Lein

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A pleasant, grassy mountain pass, with spectacular views of the Valais mountains. The pass is pastoral and synonymous with the typically Swiss mountain terrain. This pass is connected to many popular areas by a variety of trails, making it an excellent place for all types of walks and cyclists.

Col des Planches

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Col des Planches da Martigny is a climb located in the Valais region. It has a length of 10.3 km, an elevation gain of 919 meters and an average gradient of 8.9%. The climb thus achieves 925 difficulty points. The highest point is 1411 meters above sea level. Superb climb, a must if you are in the region and like steep climbs. The foot is at a roundabout (see photo), then from the beginning the slope is very steep. The view over the Rhone valley is superb, especially in the first part of the climb, where the steepest part is also located.

View of Chateau de la Batiaz

Highlight • Castle

The castle stands on the mountain and watches over Martigny. At the end of a tour easy to reach on foot, there is a nice view over the city and into the Valais.

La Bâtiaz Covered Bridge, Martigny

Highlight • Bridge

Pont de la Bâtiaz (wooden bridge), Martigny
This is the last wooden bridge in Valais that is still navigable.
Here, a bridge was swept away by the floods of the Dranse river in 1635 and later by the Giétroz debacle (1818). A new bridge was then built in 1829, covered with a structure supported by larch wood arches. The bridge was consolidated in 1920 and is the last arched bridge in Valais that is still navigable.

Saint-Maurice

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Saint-Maurice, located on the Rhône at the end of Lake Geneva, is tucked away at the foot of a looming rock face and is known for its rich past. The place, inhabited since classical antiquity, grew into a stronghold of Christianity at the end of the 3rd century AD. The abbey, the oldest monastery in the Avondland, which has been inhabited since the beginning of its existence, is now home to about forty Augustinians and a renowned school, with about a thousand students from all over French Switzerland.
