Valais Panorama Bike (VPB) - stage 4
The last day of the adventure begins at the stone arch bridge in the village of Binn. A gentle slope takes you as far as Heiligkreuz, where the almost 14-kilometre, 1,100-metre climb begins: first on an alpine track to Brunegge, then on a singletrack to Tanzbede. The final stretch to the pass will call on all your reserves. The sub-alpine landscape is arid and the colours change from pastel green to ochre as you climb. At the top, a magnificent view of the Simplon Pass and the highest peaks in Valais awaits you. After a well-earned rest, start the 12-kilometre, 1,900-metre descent, much of it on singletrails. Via Rosswald, the descent into the Ganter valley is exciting. Above Schallberg, cross a forest road and change at Riederwald onto a bisse trail. From the bottom station at Ried-Brig, you’ll head for your final destination, the town of Brig and its imposing Stockalper Castle.
