Sunnubärga Loop

Thanks to the sun-exposed location, this easy route is rideable in spring and late into autumn. The route leads through the historic town of Leuk high into the "Sonnenberge" mountains to the secluded hamlets of "Lichten" and "Brunnen" to Guttet. The Valais high trail takes you to the rustic mountain village of Albinen. After an extensive break, you will have earned yourself a "rushing dessert". A descent over racy natural paths and playful trails through forest and vines brings you back to Leuk with a broad smile.

You start your tour at the train station in Susten and pedal up an asphalt side road to the historic town of Leuk. After a short stretch on the main road, the route branches off and climbs up to the village of Guttet via a traffic-free side road and the deserted hamlets of "Lichten" and "Brunnen". The view over the wide Rhone valley and the renaturalised course of the river is indescribably beautiful. From Guttet, the terrain changes from asphalt to gravel. You reach the exposed mountain village of Albinen via the "Walliser Höhenweg" and have mastered the ascent. From here the route leads back down into the valley. Initially on asphalt, later on a forest road and finally on a playful trail, you reach St. Barbara. You zigzag across the main road and let it whiz again through the vines to the old town of Leuk - a great place for photo shoots and a cool beer. From here you can let it roll comfortably down to Susten station.
