Aletsch Arena / Bellwald becomes the season highlight of the Swiss Enduro Series.

Gustav Wildhaber held his own against his old friend Nick Beer to take victory in the fourth round of the Swiss Enduro Series, while Delia da Mocogno secured her overall victory in Airolo.

The fourth and final round of the Swiss Enduro Series 2025 was a very special highlight: the Enduro World Championships took place in the Aletsch Arena and Bellwald at the same time as the final round. National and international riders used the same challenging trails against the impressive backdrop of the Great Aletsch Glacier in the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The race route for the season finale took the riders right across the entire destination: from Bettmeralp via Fiescheralp through the Fieschertal valley up to Bellwald. This meant that the race not only offered sporting challenges, but also an impressive panorama and a variety of trails. Flowing sections alternated with alpine passages and a technically demanding old downhill route. A true reflection of the diversity that predestines the region for enduro sports. For many riders, it was a unique experience to experience the full range of the Aletsch Arena as part of a race alongside a world championship.

Silvia Penso & Gustav Wildhaber win the stop in Aletsch Arena Bellwald

Wildhaber returned to the racing action after his crash in Airolo and a short break, setting the fastest time on every stage. He won the race by over 11 seconds ahead of his rivals Nick Beer and Simon Meister. Silvia Penso clearly held her own in the Elite Women's category ahead of Alexandra Eckert and extended her lead on every stage.

The overall decision

The finale not only focused on winning the round, but also on deciding the overall title of the Swiss Enduro Series 2025. After four exciting rounds, the most consistent and strongest riders of the season were crowned. The combination of the local championship final and world championships created an incomparable atmosphere - both in sporting and emotional terms.

Top season for Delia da Mocogno

Delia was unstoppable in all her participations in the Swiss Enduro Series. She won in Piana di Vigezzo and Airolo in dominant fashion and was also crowned Swiss Enduro Mountain Bike Champion. Due to the World Championships taking place at the same time, Delia decided against taking part in the final round of the SES, but she still scored enough points to win the overall title. At the World Championships, she finished 6th as the best Swiss rider! Congratulations on a successful enduro season!
