Beautiful small place at 2,212 meters, on the car-free Aletsch plateau at the foot of the Eggishorn. With hotels, restaurants, the cable car and many cows, you can enjoy the magnificent view and the tranquility.

No lighthearted description of the tour today, as the impressions are too immense. We took over 250 photos and had difficulty capturing what we perceived. Even Sabine was impressed, and that says something.

The return trip to the valley then took place via individual trails, which were a bit too demanding for us in the upper part. However, the lower ones are quite easy to ride, even …
