This route is ideal for an e-bike ride of a little over two hours, without much effort, without risking running out of battery, but still with some elevation gain. It runs almost exclusively on secondary roads with very little traffic and is therefore very safe. There are several dining options along the way (Sierre, Miège, Cordona (weekends only), Salquenen). The route passes through natural areas of exceptional quality, such as the Planige pine forest, the hamlet of Cordona, the Salquenen slope and its scrubland landscapes, as well as the many vineyards stretching from the plain to halfway up the slope. In addition to the breathtaking view, this route, located only on the right bank, enjoys generous sunshine.
