We were actually in Sussten, Monument Campsite, nice campsite. Swiss Campsites can sometimes pack you in and are a bit regulated, this one was nice and quiet and we had our little end to ourselves. I think the french speaking areas are better. It was close to most of the riding as also rode near the Altesch Glacier.
Worked out pretty well. Has a Co-op in Sussten and Sierre and when you don’t make the silly 18:30 closing time, you have the Co-op Pronto in Sierre….which stocks plenty of cold beers!!
Grimentz, yep, actually rest day so we just had a stroll, the only day of miserable weather so we were happy to just wander.
Dave, of Swiss Alpine Adventure has kindly posted some great details on the site, plus Single Trail Maps are very handy.
When they give a route a thumbs up, they aren’t kidding.
Plus I purchased one of the Swiss mountain bike mags for some route ideas.
We did a few bike carries, but when you have all day it’s not a problem. Both of us like to have a bit of graft, makes you appreciate the downs more!
I’ll chuck em up on photobucket when I have a moment.
