Albinen is in Valais .

Understand [ edit ]

Albinen is a small mountain village that overlooks the Rhône valley. It is ranked among the most beautiful villages in Switzerland and exudes olde-worlde charm thanks to an intact village centre with wooden chalets, some of which are over 500 years old. The village preserves the tradition Valais building styles.

Get in [ edit ]

Albinen can be reached by minibus from Leuk Bahnhof station in the Rhône valley, where fast trains from Brig and Geneva stop. Since the road is quite narrow, only small minibuses serve the route and there are only 8 services per day. A separate route connects Albinen with Leukerbad and serves as the ski shuttle in winter. [1] [dead link]

Get around [ edit ]

Albinen is a small village of around 500 people, so you can easily walk around on foot. In fact the centre of the village is completely inaccessible by car because the cobbled streets are extremely narrow and the wooden chalets are packed very close together.

See [ edit ]

The easiest way to discover Albinen is to follow the “Egguweg”, a walking tour with numerous information posts that explain the different facets of the village, from dry stone walls to farming and medicinal herb gardens. A stroll through the village centre is a must, taking in the sun-scorched wooden buildings and the narrow alleyways, as well as the incongruous church that dominates the village and is the most modern construction in the village centre, having been built in 1954 after the previous church was destroyed in an earthquake.

Do [ edit ]

Albinen is a hiker’s paradise, with trails leading to Leukerbad (via the Albinenleitern - a series of wooden ladders attached to the cliff face on the hike up from Leukerbad), the Torrentalp and across to the equally scenic villages of Guttet-Feschel.

Budding potters can try their hand at traditional pottery making at the Topferhuus , which offers workshops.

Buy [ edit ]

With only one shop in the village, offering all the essentials for the local population, there is little opportunity for shopping in Albinen.

Eat [ edit ]

There are only two restaurants in the village centre, one of which - the Godswargjistubu - only opens on reservation. The other is the Sunnublick , which has a small terrace overlooking the Rhône valley and offers typical Valais dishes such as rösti and fondue.

Drink [ edit ]

Other than the two restaurants there are no bars or cafes in Albinen.

Sleep [ edit ]

There are numerous holiday apartments available for rental in Albinen. The commune of Albinen has also set up its own innovative scheme to offer holiday rentals with a hotel-like service that can cater to any needs. For more information visit the Albijou website.

Tour de Suisse 2021 route delivers series of demanding mountain stages

Flat time trial and potential sprint finishes in first half before the 84th edition culminates in heart of the Alps

The Tour de Suisse will re-establish itself on the calendar in 2021 after last year’s cancellation with a route that’s likely to keep the race open untl the very end, as it finishes with the triple peaks of Furka-Grimsel-Susten.

The course for the 84th edition largely replicates that which was initially planned for 2020 – when organisers didn't run the event because of the COVID-19 pandemic – and delivers 1,013 kilometres of racing with 17,844 metres of climbing. The eight-stage race, including two individual time trials, is set to start on Sunday June 6 and finish the following Sunday in Andermatt with its biggest day of climbing. 

“The Tour de Suisse 2021 promises a fast time trial and spectacular sprint finishes in the first half, followed by a series of the most demanding mountain stages in recent times,” said the organisers. “The route heads counter clockwise to the Lake Zurich region, across the Mittelland into Valais and culminates in the heart of the Alps.”

Tour de Suisse: Bernal secures overall victory

The race, which starts the same day the French stage race the Critérium du Dauphiné finishes, was won in 2019 by Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) before he went on to win the Tour de France . The last Tour winner to ride in Switzerland as preparation for the Tour had been 2010 winner Andy Schleck, with the Critérium du Dauphiné often favoured as it allows for a longer recovery.

The Tour de Suisse has no truly flat stages except the stage 1 individual time trial in Frauenfeld, but the following three days are options for the sprinters and breakaways before the overall competition likely heats up on Stage 5. 

The race-starting 11 kilometre time trial is followed by a 183 kilometre stage 2 where the attackers have plenty of launch options. The stage starts at the Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Europe, goes over the Ghöch and Oberricken mountain passes, past Lake Zurich and onto the finish line in Lachen with a small climb peaking just eight kilometres from the finish.

Stage 3 from Lachen to Pfaffnau, takes a tour of the lakes, with six on the itinerary starting with the Upper Lake Zurich on a hilly route through central Switzerland. Stage 4 starts in front of the 18th century baroque monastery of St Urban and it is the flattest of the mass-start stages but still climbs to the chalet village of Saanenmöser, at 1,284 metres altitude, before descending into the Gstaad finish.

Stage 5 passes the UCI World Cycling Centre in Aigle and takes a new route with more difficult ascents and serpentine turns to Bratsch and Albinen before the 17 kilometre climb from the Rhone Valley to Leukerbad. It’s a stage which is bound to cause a reshuffle on the overall classification.

Stage 6 on Friday, June 11, intensifies the alpine challenges, with Switzerland’s highest road pass on the menu at just 32 kilometres into the 162 kilometre stage. Then there is the race's first crossing of the Lukmanier Pass, with 21 kilometres at an average gradient of 4.3 percent and finally a more mild uphill run to the finish line at Sedrun.

The second to last stage is another time trial, but on this occasion it is far from flat. The 23-kilometre race against the clock from Disentis goes over the Oberalp Pass, with its 13 kilometres and a gradient of 6.9 per cent, to Andermatt. 

Then on Sunday, June 13, the racing finishes with a Queen stage that has a total ascent of 3,600 metres in altitude over 118 kilometres. The alpine circuit from Andermatt passes over the triple peaks of Furka-Grimsel-Susten, with the final climb to the finish of the 2021 edition heading through Schöllenen Gorge.

Enjoy a break in the traditional Valais mountain village of Albinen with a magnificent panoramic view of the Rhone Valley.

The Idyllic Mountain Village with Immeasurable Charm

• ALBIJOU – Holiday living with hotel service
• Holiday Apartments
• Map Albinen
• Community of Albinen

In the 11th century, a German-speaking community immigrated from Leukerbad, settled in the area and turned today's Albinen into a permanently inhabited and cultivated area. Today, the village boasts numerous typical Valais mountain farmhouses and barns, the famous glass windows of the village church and the wonderful view over the Rhone Valley.

Recharge your batteries with a walk in and around the village, which is rightly included in the list of ‘sites of national importance worth protecting’. Winter sports enthusiasts can take the free ski bus to the Torrent cable car valley station in Leukerbad just 14 minutes away. If you prefer to come by car, you will always find a parking space.
