Here you can cycle along a quiet cycle path between the golf course and the Rhone. On one side you can see the orchards and on the other side you can admire the steep slopes with their equally neat vines.

June 18, 2022,nova Eroica

A really beautiful round.
A little hot today 🔥, once had 40 Celsius on the navi.
After Leukerbad I had to deal with severe cramps.
Luckily there was bouillon, pickle water and a fountain to cool down.

June 17, 2023,NOVA Eroica Switzerland - Via Alpina 2023

Rather hot (32 deg) and no sleep the night before. It didn't help.
Finally succeeded, so that's good. Course with magnificent views. Climb to Leukerbad not so bad! On balance we can not say that it is gravel but half mountain bike half road. With all the same one or two beautiful gravel paths at the top of the climb …

September 26, 2021,Nova Eroica "Alpina" gravel race

This is the first time the Nova Eroica has come to Sion. There are various levels of difficulty and length. The Alpina - what I did - is the toughest. And with rain pouring down it certainly added to the difficulty. Many very steep sections some requiring pushing the bike. I pushed to my limits on the climbs. Awesome introduction …

June 15, 2024,Nova Eroica Switzerland

Another rainy gravel ride, this time the Nova Eroica in Sion. First class organization with a unique route through the vineyards and along the Rhone.

The ride started in a heavy rain and didn't let up for nearly the entire ride. The roads were a jumbled array of potholes filled with water creating havoc for line choices.
