Torrenttrail Bike

Icon Tour

High above the Rhone Valley you discover hidden alpine pastures and pass idyllic mountain villages and cultural landscapes. And all this on magical Valais single trails.

The large cable car comfortably takes you from Leukerbad to Rinderhütte. From here you start on the single trail high path with magnificent views over the Rhone Valley and the Valais four-thousanders. The trail quickly follows the subalpine terrain hills below the Schafberg. Occasionally, there are short climbs to tackle.

From the Bachalp onwards, you follow beautiful, bright coniferous forests and the viewpoint changes increasingly with views of Mont Blanc and down into the Rhone plain. On naturally playful and varied trails, you pass alpine pastures and idyllic mountain villages.

The satellite ground station from the 1970s has already caused some amusing rumors in connection with US-American espionage. At the end, you can immerse yourself once more in the cultural-historical past of the district capital Leuk. The historic Leuk castle with the dome added by Mario Botta is worth a visit.
