The Tour de France made it's first trip to Verbier and I went along to soak up the sun and enjoy the atmosphere.

It was 25 years ago to the day that the Tour was last in Valais and although it took over an hour to get from Le Chable to Verbier the crowds were in good spirits and determined to make sure the tour came back quicker next time around.
