ザルゲッシュのおすすめツーリングルート

The landscape near Stalden is characterized by steep vineyards, which are among the highest in Europe.

The path leads along the old railway line outside the Leuk centre

There are many ossuaries in the Alpine region, but also on the Iberian peninsula. As space in the churchyard was limited and there were no other cemeteries, the bones of the deceased were recovered after a while and transferred to ossuaries or chapels on the church grounds. Most of the bones lie in a jumble behind a wall of artfully layered skulls and femurs. Visitors should not disturb the peace of the dead.

A little scary here

Ossuary under the church, impressive memento mori

Impressive view of the Rhone Valley

The view over vines, grapes, valleys and rivers to the mountains is unparalleled and is definitely worth the altitude.

Flat cycle path for quick progress, the headwind is almost part of it...
