Aletsch

Fiesch

The Aletsch glacier is the largest in the Alps and has recently been marked out by UNESCO as a world nature site. What a fantastic location for a tour! The journey itself is your goal - all the way up to the frozen water. You'll need to tackle thirteen curves on the path through the larch forests up to the Fiescheralp.

Description

The efforts of cycling uphill are more than rewarded by the unique landscapes and indescribably beautiful views. Up here the characteristics of the trail are more a secondary business, it's the natural surroundings which count - and nothing else.
