Trail Reviews
@pipeline It was a cool bike tour. Some sections were a bit challenging (for me), but doable without having to push the boundaries. We definitely have to do the second part, on the other side of the Rhône Valley, again!
I had set myself the goal of Lake Märjelensee and was able to do it on Wednesday. From Riederalp up to Salzgäb and towards Bettmeralp I found a cool single trail. Again in the direction of Fiescheralp and then up to the Salgäb there in the direction of the tunnel. This tunnel was filled with about 10-15cm of water by the snowmelt and rainfalls, but that didn't stop me. On the other hand, I was rewarded with a mountain panorama that I cannot describe. It should be said here that the route to the Aletsch Glacier is subject to a general driving ban. Since I had forgotten the lock I had to bump the bike for better or worse because I didn't want to miss the view of the glacier. The kilometer on foot is absolutely feasible, even in bike shoes ;-). Back on the road, the Märjelensee had to be looked at expectantly, which also serves as a checkpoint for the Stoneman. The way back followed almost the same route. With the exception of the Bettmersee, I took a path that actually can't be ridden by bike, or at least I didn't, so I had to push a lot, but that didn't dampen the mood in the least. At the end of the tour, the single trail to Riederalp again. https://www.relive.cc/view/vevW2DKENGq
Medium-difficult MTB tour approx. 2 hours, without EMTB partly borderline! (just at the beginning). It goes past the Bettmerhorn in the direction of the Egishorn over the Fiescheralp. It only continues on gravel to the Tälliggrat tunnel. Through the tunnel, the Gletscherstube awaits you with delicious local delicacies. The way back is the same way (unfortunately it shouldn't be possible to go back from there to the Aletsch Glacier by MTB via the Blausee). Shortly after the Bättmer-Hitta you can turn right and then do a lap of honor around the Bettmer See and then reward yourself with a drink at the rustic Gletschi Hitta. Enjoy the tour.
Great tour with a beautiful view of the Aletsch Glacier. Tour is official from the aletscharena.ch site!
