Technical trails in an impressive natural setting

Aletsch Enduro Trails

The Aletsch Enduro Trails offer a unique topography in the heart of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site - surrounded by the Great Aletsch Glacier and impressive four-thousand-metre peaks - and the ideal experience for experienced enduro riders looking for challenging descents.

Aletsch Enduro stands for technical trails in one of the most impressive natural settings in the Alps. Between millennia-old ice, narrow single trails and alpine terrain, the riders experience mountain biking with depth. Here it's not about mass, but about class: less highway, more line. Less show, more feeling. The region combines a sporting challenge with a genuine experience of nature - raw, honest and unadulterated.

Tight bends, root passages, exposed sections - the enduro trails are challenging without being too demanding. Natural, technical, with panoramic views on top. A total of 79 kilometers of enduro trails await riders, with 6300 vertical meters possible in one day.

The top trails in the Aletsch Arena

The Enduro Bahnen Tour is a long, versatile enduro loop with everything a rider's heart could desire: Glacier views, forest trails, stone lines and plenty of vertical meters. The loop is over 60 kilometers long and connects four of the best enduro trails in the Aletsch Arena: Märjela Enduro Loop (tunnel feeling, glacier view and technical descents), Martisberg Enduro Trail (nature highlight with forest, berry bushes and alpine flair), Bettmerhorn Enduro Trail (glacier start, rock slabs and historic trails) and Moosfluh Enduro Trail (ridge panorama, built curves and natural lines). The entire Aletsch region can be explored using the cable cars as a connecting element between the stages. Along the way, riders can expect numerous viewpoints, mountain villages with character and plenty of spots for a break.

The Bettmerhorn Enduro Trail is a technical high alpine trail in the Aletsch Arena. A highlight is the start on the Bettmerhorn at 2647 meters with a glacier view. The lines are steep, rocky and wild and lead directly over the ski slope towards Hohbalm. The Kulturweg starts below Bettmeralp - a historic, steep path with stone reinforcements, narrow and challenging. This is where the choice of line counts. After Betten, the trail becomes quieter and more flowing, but remains rocky. After 14.2 kilometers, the trail ends on asphalt in Mörel-Filet. From there, take the cable car back up the mountain - ready for the next ride on one of the Aletsch Enduro trails.

Challenging trail on a historic downhill route

The Fiescheralp Trail is the most challenging trail in the Aletsch Arena enduro network - an extremely technical, steep enduro trail. A historic downhill route that has been awakened from its slumber after twenty years. The start is at the Fiescheralp mountain station. After that, riders can expect rough passages, tight bends, small drops and a variety of technical challenges with stones and roots. The end offers another surprise: after all the toughness, a playful, flowing section awaits the riders, which brings them directly to the valley station as a "sweet finish".

It is not a leisurely ride for beginners, but a real challenge for very experienced enduro cracks.
