- Destination: Fiesch, public transport hub
From the public transport hub in Fiesch, you first ride downhillon Furka street and turn left before the roundabout. Then you cross the Rotten river and ride via Ernen and Mühlebach to the first highlight: the Goms Bridge. After the Goms Bridge, the road to Bellwald branches off directly. Via Gibelegga, St. Anna, and the small hamlet Egga, you reach Bellwald, a typical Valais village with narrow alleys and sun-darkened wooden Valais houses. A stroll through the idyllic village with its car-free center is worthwhile. Then continue eastwards to the village exit where the road turns into an unpaved alpine road. With a magnificent view of the Rhone Valley and the Valais Alps, you continue uphill to Fleschen.
Once in Fleschen, the Bikepark Bellwald offers various options to start your descent back to the valley, or you can take the same path back.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
If you want to save yourself part of the climb of almost 1,000 meters in elevation, you can cover part of the route by train, gondola, and chairlift.
