--- title: "Fiescheralp Enduro Trail" url: "https://enduro.aletscharena.ch/en/ride/trail/fiescheralp-enduro-trail" description: "The start is directly at the Fiescheralp mountain station. First, you roll over open meadows and dwarf shrubs, where you can pick up speed on a long straight. But be careful: full concentration is mandatory. Those who reach their limits here should better take the forest roads back or choose the cable car to the valley. After a short transfer on the forest road, you enter the mountain forest. Initially flowy, with playful elements and forest meadows, then the trail shows its true face: a steep, root-strewn slope demands full technique. Further down it becomes even rockier and rougher, just below the Fiescheralp cable car. Steep sections, tight hairpin turns, rocks, and root carpets alternate – pure enduro challenge. Several times you briefly cross the forest roads before continuing over exposed forest slopes and technically demanding curves towards the valley. The end offers another surprise: after all the toughness, you will find a playful, flowy section that brings you as a “sweet finish” directly to the valley station. Highlights: Historic downhill track, reactivated after 20 years of dormancy Most demanding trail in the enduro network of the Aletsch Arena Steep forest slopes with stones & roots Many line options and elements for airtime Mix of natural trail and old downhill sections Important: The trail is steep, technical, and physically demanding. Ride it only if you feel confident – otherwise choose an alternative. Respect nature and ride fairly. Trail type: Technical singletrail, red/black Terrain: Alpine meadows, steep slopes, forest, stones, roots, old downhill lines Message: Are you ready for the final boss?
