The perfect route for an e-bike tour. Ride along the Valais language border and at the same time through diverse typical Valais villages such as Muraz, Veyras and Miège. From Sierre railway station ride in the direction of Muraz where you can visit the wine museum (Château Villa). The route continues along the hillside. Let your e-bike take you in the direction of Cordona and Malvoisie Pass. The quick ascent offers you an open panorama of the Rhone valley and of the Valais Alps. After many tight bends and the first crossing of the language border, the Raspille, you reach the hamlet of Cordona. Cordona is the last inhabited village before the Malvoisie Pass, which is the highest point on the trail at 1340 metres.

When 2 wineries are united by a common denominator: «For us, it is an ethical matter of course to think of the next generations.»
The Vine and Wine Museum, Sierre - Salgesch is devoted to viticulture. The 2 exhibitions in the Zumofenhaus and the Château Villa deal with differnt topics, but they are linked with a 6-km long nature trail and as such also form one entity.
In 1987 the Rilke Foundation moved into the Maison Pancrace de Courten in Sierre and set up their museum.
The Wine Museum is housed in the enclosing wall of the Château de Villa. It shows temporary exhibitions about vineyards and wine and organises a program of conferences, wine-tasting and seminars.
