--- title: "Bettmeralp Trail" url: "https://www.aletscharena.ch/en/planning-booking/tour/bettmeralp-trail" description: "Below Bettmeralp, you drop into an old-school, rough trail – steep, narrow, and full of technical moves, where your line choice really matters. Towards Betten it gets a bit more flowy, but still stays chunky and natural. Only shortly before Mörel do you roll out onto asphalt – then it’s time to catch the train and head straight back up for the next run. Trail signs: Follow the red signposts with a white biker symbol and the sticker labeled “Bettmeralp Trail”. Note: At the trail entrance and at transitions between different difficulty levels, the corresponding level is clearly marked. Important: Show respect for hikers and nature in the Aletsch Arena – ride responsibly." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2868916/03b3cf772a95933a0da701a0c23df0c1bdbd4a3c627529e4abedcd26bf33d7fe/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Aletsch Arena > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Bettmeralp Trail ================ - Tip - 8.45 km long - Difficulty: difficult - MTB tour Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena Bettmeralp Trail in der Aletsch Arena - 0:50 h - 8.45 km - 1,160 m - 764 m - 1,924 m - Difficulty: difficult - - Start: Bettmeralp Village - Destination: Mörel Village Below Bettmeralp, you drop into an old-school, rough trail – steep, narrow, and full of technical moves, where your line choice really matters.
