A short climbs with two short flat sections in the middle to recover. Beautiful view on the Rhone valley near the top as you ride through the Chablais vineyards.
If the road is closed, don't try to ride through anyway. The ground is unstable and there is a real danger of landslides

Aigle Castle

Highlight • Castle

The history of Aigle Castle still contains many gray areas. However, it is known that Aigle Castle, originally a fortified tower, was built at the end of the 12th century by the Knights of Aigle. From the 13th century, and again in the 14th century, various buildings and a wall surrounded this original Aigle Castle.

It was the Bernese, whose coat of arms still surmounts the entrance gate, who gave Aigle Castle its original appearance. They expanded the walls, built new buildings, and added apartments and administrative offices. Aigle Castle thus became not just a fortified castle but the prestigious residence of their representatives, the Governors of Aigle. Numerous painted decorations from the 16th and 17th centuries can be admired during a visit to Aigle Castle.

Aigle Vineyards and Castle

Highlight • Castle

Aigle is located southeast of the city of Montreux on Lake Geneva, the city with the strong connection to Queens singer Freddy Mercury, who sang here our favorite sports equipment "Bicycle" and thus had a world hit.

Aigle is also strongly related to cycling. Because here is the headquarters of the International Cycling Union Union Cycliste Internationale, also known as UCI.
