The Chemin du Vignoble (“Vineyard Trail”) leads through the sunny winegrowing regions along the north side of the Rhône valley, linking picturesque winemaking villages that have given their names to prestigious Valais wines. There are three versions – for motorists, for cyclists and for walkers – each with a slightly different route. The hiking trail (SwitzerlandMobility Route 36) comprises four stages totalling 66 km. The first stage leads from Branson near Martigny to the medieval village of Saillon, via the chestnut grove above Fully. The second stage links the spa resort of Saillon with Sion, capital of Valais. From Sion, the third stage leads to Venthône near Sierre, following the historical irrigation channel of the Bisse de Clavau and passing attractive vineyard restaurants. The final stage links French- and German-speaking Valais, and takes in medieval villages, the Pfyn-Finges Nature Park, the “Espace Terroirs” visitor centre in Miège and finally the historical town of Leuk.

For all hikes:
Bring a map. Download full description of this route including large-scale map by clicking on “Print” icon, top right of this page. Use marked trails only, and observe all signposting – for your own safety, to safeguard grazing animals and to avoid disturbing wildlife. Close gates after passing through. Please be considerate to other trail users, and to the plants and animals. Do not leave any waste in nature.
For mountain hikes:
Take extra care protecting yourself from the sun at altitude. UV radiation can be exceptionally strong, even in cloudy weather. Plan hike carefully: take into consideration fitness level of each participant, weather forecast and season. Weather conditions can change quickly in the mountains, without warning. Appropriate clothing is therefore essential, along with adequate supplies of food and water. In uncertain weather, turn back in good time.
For high-altitude hikes:
Inform others of the route you plan to take. Whenever possible, avoid going alone. Do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide. Take note of the warning signs that point out the constant danger in river beds and along watercourses below dams and reservoirs: water levels may rise rapidly without warning.

The hike is particularly recommended and impressive in autumn, when the vineyards become a sea of red, yellow and gold, and numerous wine-related events take place.
