Wallis Velo Tour: Brig - St. Luc Anniviers (Stage 5)

The first difficulty of this stage is probably one of the most beautiful climbs in the region. The ascent to Moosalp offers a magnificent and preserved landscape that lets you enjoy every kilometer. The subsequent descent takes you through the villages of Zenhäusern and Bürchen until you arrive again in the Rhone valley. Then continue towards Siders, where you cross the Pfynwald with its unique vegetation. The final part of the stage is also challenging, as the climb to St-Luc offers no opportunity to rest. The steep curves up to Niouc are worth every drop of sweat. However, once you have overcome the first section, it becomes a little less steep until Vissoie. With the rock face on one side and the slope on the other, this section offers a special feeling. The last section up to St-Luc demands some strength in the calves again.

Our recommendation: technically flawless bicycle, helmet, gloves and bell, suitable clothing according to the weather (always carry rain protection), drink and food.

From Sierre, follow route 9 to Brig.

SBB train to Brig via Lötschberg (from Bern) or Sion (from Lausanne).

Since this route is a partial section of a stage tour and the start location is not the same as the destination (not a circular route), we recommend traveling by public transport. Alternatively, the SBB parking lots in Brig can be used. Follow the local parking guidance system for this.
