The perfect route for an e-bike tour. Ride along the Valais language border and at the same time through diverse typical Valais villages such as Muraz, Veyras and Miège.

When 2 wineries are united by a common denominator: «For us, it is an ethical matter of course to think of the next generations.»
The Vine and Wine Museum, Sierre - Salgesch is devoted to viticulture. The 2 exhibitions in the Zumofenhaus and the Château Villa deal with differnt topics, but they are linked with a 6-km long nature trail and as such also form one entity.
In 1987 the Rilke Foundation moved into the Maison Pancrace de Courten in Sierre and set up their museum.
The Wine Museum is housed in the enclosing wall of the Château de Villa. It shows temporary exhibitions about vineyards and wine and organises a program of conferences, wine-tasting and seminars.
