Long, varied enduro loop with everything the rider’s heart desires: views of the glacier, forest trails, rocky lines and plenty of downhill action.

The Enduro Cable Car Tour is your all-in-one package. In a single loop you connect four of the best enduro trails in the Aletsch Arena:

  • Märjela Enduro Loop – tunnel feeling, glacier views and technical descents
  • Martisberg Enduro Trail – nature highlight with forest, berry bushes and alpine flair
  • Bettmerhorn Enduro Trail – glacier start, rock slabs, historic paths
  • Moosfluh Enduro Trail – ridge panorama, banked curves and natural lines

With the cable cars as the connecting element between the various stages, you explore the entire Aletsch region.

On the Aletsch Enduro Trails, look forward to scores of lookout points, mountain villages with character and no end of spots for a quick break – whether it’s for rösti, cheese toasts or a dip in Lake Bettmersee.

Highlights:

  • Four top trails in one day
  • Non-stop glaciers, lakes and mountain forests
  • Perfect combination of nature, technique and flow
  • Numerous options for tasty breaks with regional cuisine

Important: Respect for hikers and nature in the Aletsch Arena – ride with a generous attitude.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Insider tips:
  • Start early – you’ll need (and want) time
  • Flexibly switch or bypass individual trail sections if crowded
  • Take advantage of the cable car combi-ticket – saves you time and the climb
  • Fancy something flowy – take a detour to the Wurzenbord Flow Trail
  • The Bettmerhorn-Bettmeralp trail section is best ridden at off-peak times (early in the morning or later in the afternoon): there are often hordes of hikers on the ridge path between Moosfluh and Bettmeralp.

Do you want to experience Aletsch Enduro in all its diversity? Then the Enduro Cable Car Tour is the ride for you. Maximum mix, maximum views, maximum depth.
