イゼラブルの峠・トップ11

Beautiful, smooth, never extremely steep and only a few cars even on weekends.

The Col du Sanetsch is certainly one of Switzerland's classic mountain passes, even though it can only be approached by road bike from the south. There are two alternative routes: one starts in Sion, the other, this one, in Conthey. Above the village of Daillon, the two roads converge and the steeper part of the climb begins. While there is only a parking lot at the Col du Sanetsch, the highest point, you can continue on the paved road to the reservoir (Lake Sanetsch). There is an inn there. The cable car station, which offers a ride down to Gsteig bei Gstaad, is also located here. This makes the pass a perfect circular tour.

The rewards are the magnificent view of the Val de Bagnes and the cheese crust at the refreshment bar at the Col du Lein

Like other passes, the Prafleuri Pass offers beautiful views of the neighboring plateaus. To the southeast, you can see the Prafleuri Glacier and its former quarry, and to the west, you can see Petit Mont Fort and its many glacial lakes. The pass has an elevation of almost 3,000 meters.

A pleasant, grassy mountain pass, with spectacular views of the Valais mountains. The pass is pastoral and synonymous with the typically Swiss mountain terrain. This pass is connected to many popular areas by a variety of trails, making it an excellent place for all types of walks and cyclists.

The Col de la Croix de Coeur was participating in the 2023 Giro d'Italia. The road surface has been improved for the race, but near the summit some gravel remains. The Pass can be crossed easily by road bike and is generally open at the end of May, beginning of June depending on snow conditions. You may want to check in advance that the Pass is open.

A high point on the ridge above the front part of the Verbier ski and mountain bike resort. From here you will have a fantastic view of the resort, as well as the Valais mountains. Best of all, there's a diverse range of trails leading to this location, so there's a little bit for everyone. It's a great place to enjoy your sandwich before heading back down the slopes.

A gentle, car-accessible mountain pass. This pass offers excellent views, while also being the starting point for a variety of different hiking trails.
