This demanding bike tour starts in Fiescheralp. Set off up to the Tälligrat Tunnel on a wide dirt track. Here a fabulous view of the Fiesch Glacier awaits you: pause briefly to enjoy the sight. The tunnel brings you into the Märjela valley. Tip: Treat yourself to a bite to eat here in the Gletscherstube. Then, be sure to walk down to the Great Aletsch Glacier! You can leave your bike at the restaurant. Still basking in your impressions of the glacier, you then tackle the single trail towards Märjelenwang and Unners Tälli. Shortly before Fiescheralp, take the dirt track left towards Heimatt and Fiescherstafel and ride down the single trail to Fieschertal. The tour ends with a pleasant, level section of trail that brings you to the public transport hub in Fiesch.
