SHRED THE
TRAILS

Hey, you know that feeling you get when you find your flow? Ride the rush on the Aletsch Enduro Trails with their unique topography. The mountainside between the plateau and the valley floor offers the ideal adventure playground for experienced enduro riders looking for steep and challenging descents. The landscape is an incredible natural phenomenon: you’re riding in midst of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture yourself cruising along natural trails, against the majestic backdrop of the Great Aletsch Glacier and surrounded by an array of stunning 4000-metre mountain peaks. Every trail is embedded in stunning scenery. Aletsch Enduro is challenging – physically, technically and emotionally.

Let’s ride – let’s vibe!

Natural trails

Authentic single trails as they should be: natural, raw and with character. Roots, stones, old paths and historic trails make for a real terrain feel. Here you ride authentic lines with history.

Bike & cable car: your shortcut to epic trails

The GA Travelcard includes transport to and from the valley, and for the uphill rides you can get the Aletsch Bike Pass – or the Upper Valais Bike Pass for the Aletsch Arena and Bellwald. Six cable cars whisk you up to the trails from early in the morning until late at night. Glide up, shred down!

Glacier panorama in the UNESCO World Heritage Site

Aletsch Enduro takes you right into the heart of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site – where the glacier has shaped nature for thousands of years. The highlight: the view of the Great Aletsch Glacier – the biggest glacier in the Alps.

Multifaceted trails

Each Aletsch Enduro Trail is different: sometimes technically demanding, sometimes flowing – and often both. The trails are rich in variety, challenging your riding technique and taking you through unique alpine terrain with panoramic views, forest passages and flowery meadows.

Long descents with a huge altitude difference

Many trails start at over 2,500 metres above sea level and end in the valley – with over 1,500 metres of downhill per ride. Particularly stunning: Bettmerhorn Trail, Moosfluh Trail and the Enduro Bahnen Tour. If it’s negative vertical metres you’re after, you’ve come to the right place.

Season starts in spring – and ends in late autumn

Thanks to favourable exposure, some trail sections can be ridden as early as spring – perfect for an early start to the season with plenty of downhill. At the same time, high alpine sections offer ideal conditions until late autumn.

Bucket list trails

The trails of Aletsch Enduro challenge you – technically, physically and with no end of negative altitude difference. Red lines for flowing passages with a thrilling edge, black for those looking for grip at the limit. Ride the rush through the alpine landscape, past glaciers, rock and forest. Our single trails have character – they’ll set your MTB pulse racing.
