From the public transport hub in Fiesch, set off on the road to Fieschertal as far as the first turn-off on the left. Follow this road until you come to a dirt track on the right. Turn off here, cross the bridge and stay on the path until a road turns off to the left, which leads you directly into Fieschertal. After cycling through the village, it’s time for some serious pedalling onwards and upwards towards the Fiesch Glacier. After a while, the paved road turns into a track that takes you to Hobrigga. Cross the Wysswasser river and enjoy the downhill ride on cool, easy single trails back to Fiesch. When you reach Fiesch Obermatta, bike down into Birchi and take the turn-off towards Wiler. Stay on the dirt track until you meet the paved road above Lax. Follow this uphill for a short distance and then take the single trail that branches off to the right. On reaching Wiler, ride down into the village and via Birchi back to the public transport hub in Fiesch.
Hint: This bike tour is also suitable for E-MTBs, but it will take you less time than suggested. The precise time required can be calculated on our Tour Portal.
