Rhone Route - Section 3 Brig–Sierre
Bicycle tour
Rhone Route
The main valley in the Valais widens, sun warms the dry mountain slopes. Between Leuk and Sierre an unruly part of the Rhone, and the Pfynwald, a nature reserve on a huge mound of glacier detritus; a motorway will be built here.
Between Susten and Sierre lies the Pfynwald, the heart of the Pfyn-Finges Nature Park. A huge pine forest occupies the valley floor through which the wild Rhone flows. The park stretches from the vineyards to the summit of the Weisshorn (4500 m).
