- Description
-
From downtown Sierre, reach the banks of the Rhone through the Small Lakes and Lake Geronde: an oasis of freshness just two pedal strokes away from the city. The rest of the route takes you along the Rhone to Saint-Léonard where you will trade your bike for a boat to visit the largest underground lake in Europe. After this refreshing break, you'll be ready to climb the 300m or so of difference in altitude that separates you from Venthône. A nice descent through the vineyards finally allows you to return to your starting point.
