The program
Crans-Montana, Valais, Switzerland
Day 0: Crans-Montana
Welcome to the sun trap of the Swiss Alps
Here we are in Crans-Montana, perched on a plateau with a view over some of the most beautiful Alpine peaks, from the Matterhorn to the Dent Blanche and even the Weisshorn. Can you recognize any of them?
Make the most of this first day by taking a walk around this magical place and appreciating the scenery.
Day 1: Crans-Montana – Leukerbad
From a spectacular glacier to thermal baths
The day begins with a climb … but don't sweat it. You'll be in a gondola, up to 3’000 metres. Take a minute to admire the splendour of the Plaine Morte Glacier and its 360-degree panoramic views, before attacking the first descent in an almost lunar landscape. A continuous sequence of singletrack flow trails is guaranteed to keep a smile on your face for the rest of the day.
After a few more pedal strokes, we’ll arrive at our destination for the evening, and we’ll dive (quite literally) into the delights that Leukerbad has to offer. A spa evening you say? Perfect!

The magic of Lötschental
A magnificent traverse brings us to the magical valley of Lötschental, in the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site Jungfrau-Aletsch. Along a series of flow trails we’ll have an incredible view over the impressive Bietschhorn, all the way to our historical hotel.
A small walk will allow us to discover the region's living tradition, the Tchäggätä – iconic wooden monsters, and whet our appetite for a gastronomic evening meal. Bon appétit!

Day 3: Lötschental – Binntal
A wild mountain pass at 2,600 metres
Start the day right with a succession of fun singletrack trails, before another ride … but this time on a panoramic train! Time to take a quick break before the most challenging part of the day: the ascent to a 2,600 metre-high Alpine pass. At the top, the majestic views will open up towards the pristine Binntal Valley, rich in culture and natural beauty.
It’s time for a quieter evening in a charming mountain refuge. What a magical place!
