The e-bike loop in the Aletsch Arena combines activity with enjoyment and nature. Over about 38 kilometers and more than 1,800 meters of elevation gain, you explore the region at your own pace – supported by your e-bike, but with plenty of time to stop along the way.

The starting point is flexible – you can begin wherever you are. After just a few kilometers, you will already see the variety of the region: wide views of the Great Aletsch Glacier, peaceful mountain forests, and alpine landscapes that change again and again.

Along the route, you will find many viewpoints, charming mountain villages, and lots of places to take a break – whether for rösti, a cheese dish, or even a swim in Bettmer Lake. The route offers a mix of nature, smooth flowing trails, and some more technical sections, which you can take at your own pace.

The loop is challenging but not about speed. It is about experiencing the Aletsch Arena in a mindful way – with time for small moments: a view into the valley, the sound of the ground under your tires, and the smell of the mountain forests.
