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 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.

Col des Planches from Martigny

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

From Martigny, the approximately ten-kilometer-long western ramp leads to the Col des Planches. It's steepest right at the beginning, but the view of the Rhône Valley makes up for it.

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.

Beautiful bike path along the Rhône

Highlight • Cycleway

Here it rolls very pleasant along the Rhone on a bike path on the river dam. Definitely take the detour to Cascade de Pissevache, very impressive waterfall.

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.
