The route starts at the Fiesch public transport hub. Pass through the town and follow the unpaved road to Lax. From the Deischbach, go uphill on Martisbergerstrasse up to the height of Ritti, where you turn left onto the forest road. Via the hamlet of Egga you ride to Betten and further to Goppisberg. In long serpentines it now goes – past the hamlets Bodu, Gstalji, Bina, and Biel – up to the Riederalp. From there you ride eastwards via the Aletsch promenade to Bettmeralp. At the height of the aerial cableway station switch to the road leading downhill to the hamlet of Domo. There you take the forest path turning left and ride through the Baderwald to Martisberg. Here begins the descent towards Fiesch: after the first hairpin curve, a well-rideable single trail branches off to the left, which shortly afterwards rejoins the Martisbergerstrasse. Alternatively, you simply stay on the paved road. Once in the valley, you ride back to Fiesch on the country road.
By the way: This bike route is suitable for e-MTBs. However, note that the indicated duration will be reduced. You can calculate the exact time needed on our tour portal.
