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. From Sierre railway station ride in the direction of Muraz where you can visit the wine museum (Château Villa). The route continues along the hillside. Let your e-bike take you in the direction of Cordona and Malvoisie Pass. The quick ascent offers you an open panorama of the Rhone valley and of the Valais Alps. After many tight bends and the first crossing of the language border, the Raspille, you reach the hamlet of Cordona. Cordona is the last inhabited village before the Malvoisie Pass, which is the highest point on the trail at 1340 metres. Afterwards the route continues in the direction of Salgesch through one of the driest landscapes in Switzerland. From Salgesch to Sierre the trail leads through vineyards and again crosses the Raspille, the Valais language border.
