The vineyards on the steep slopes catch the eye no matter where you look in the Walliser Valley of the River Rhone. The biggest wine growing belt, an almost closed band on the right edge of the valley, lies between Martigny and Leuk. The Walliser Wine Route runs through this area over a stretch of 66 km over gently undulating terrain. Below the vineyards, surrounded by Alpine ridges, flows the River Rhone. The four main types grown here are called Chasselas (Fendant), Johannisberg, Pinot noir and Gamay. To an increasing extent, even indigenous varieties like Amigne, Humagne, Petite Arvine, Resi (Rèze) or Cornalin are also cultivated nowadays. One highlight on this trek is the stay at the Saillon-les-Bains with the hot springs. The best time for this trek along the wine route is in spring and autumn.
