In total, the challenging mountain bike route offers you 127 km and 4,700 spectacular meters of altitude gain. However, it is designed so that you can also tackle the route in several daily stages from different starting points. For example, from Bellwald, via Fieschertal and Fiesch, to the steep ascent to the sun plateau of the Aletsch Arena. From there, the route leads to Märjelensee and back to Bettmeralp. From Bettmeralp, you cycle up to Checkpoint Moosfluh and continue over Riederalp down to Mörel. Then comes the king stage: 1,600 meters of altitude gain up to the Breithorn Pass! You can relax a bit on the descent into the Binntal. Then along the Rhone towards Obergoms and back to Bellwald.
