In the municipality of St-Léonard VS, where the ascent to the Tseuzier dam begins, lies the largest underground lake in Europe. The route winds through the vineyards of Combe de Voos and takes you step by step higher up to the village of Botyre. Afterwards, the road climbs steeply along the Liène and through the forest. In some bends, you can really enjoy the view of the highest mountain peaks on the other side of the valley. After a few more hairpin bends, you finally reach Lac de Tseuzier, whose crystal-clear water reflects the surrounding peaks.








The route starts in Bramois and takes you to St-Léonard, on the other side of the Rhone valley. At this village, you first pass through an exceptional vineyard: watch out for the rose bushes and fig trees! In summer, you can often hear the song of cicadas here, making you feel almost like you are in Provence during the first kilometers of the ascent. From Botyre, the landscape becomes increasingly alpine and the road narrower and narrower. With every meter on the way to one of the few Valais reservoirs north of the Rhone, the panorama gradually reveals the highest peaks of the Valais Alps. Once at the pass height, the crystal-clear water of Lac du Tseuzier will revive even the most exhausted cyclist, and the view of the Rawil Pass at the end of the valley will make you forget all the hardships suffered since the start in St-Léonard.
