Val d'Illiez is home to Les Portes du Soleil, one of the largest ski stations in Europe. And you know what ski stations mean ? Usually pretty great gravel roads. Surprisingly, the ski installations are never too present on this route, and you'll find yourself riding on quiet alpine roads with views onto

The definition of an epic day on the bike. Starting at Brig CFF we take a gravel road deep into one of the most idyllic and remote valleys of the Upper Valai: Binntal. First on the menu is a magnificent gravel loop past the village of Binn, towards the foot of the Albrunpass, on smooth gravel tracks

The Tour des Combins is a challenging and stunning off-road alpine loop between Switzerland and Italy. Well trained legs may do it in one go, but that time we did it over two days with an overnight stop in a lovely locanda in Ollomont to stuff our faces with pasta.

The Lac de Joux ride is a fantastic ride through some familiar Jurassian terrain.

It revisits some classics along the way adding a nice crispy touch on some climbs and descents, without being too difficult, most technical parts have chicken exits.
