From Verbier you enjoy a unique view of the Combin massif before descending towards Le Châble and then Sembrancher. A climb leads through the village of Orsières and gets steeper until you reach the picturesque Lac de Champex. Then you ride through the Champex valley down towards Martigny. And when you are already in the region, you should not miss the ascent to the Col de la Petite Forclaz, where the 2020 Road Cycling World Championships were held. Via the Route de la Forclaz you return to the valley and then ride towards Lake Geneva. After that, you reach the Val d’Illiez via a climb towards Les Giettes, from where a road runs along the spectacular mountain face of the Dents du Midi to Champéry.
You leave the holiday resort Verbier and the Val de Bagnes behind and head towards the Great St. Bernard and Italy until you reach the village of Orsières. You then continue to the small holiday resort Champex and its enchanting lake. A long descent takes you into the Rhône Valley, where you can tackle the famous Col de la Petite Forclaz before continuing to the ancient Roman town of Martigny. You then cycle towards Saint-Maurice and Lake Geneva, a section where your calves can recover until Massongex. From there, you manage a short climb towards Les Giettes. After the village, you descend back into the Val d’Illiez and finish the stage with the ascent to Champéry, where you are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Dents du Midi and La Dent Blanche.
