Flowtrail WurzenbordPhoto: Aletsch Arena AG
Practice your riding technique or enjoy downhill riding? With about 3 km length and 260 m altitude difference, the Flowtrail Wurzenbord is ideal for both.
The Wurzenbord chairlift from Bettmeralp takes you up to the start of the Flowtrail (2215 m a.s.l.). The trail fits perfectly into the varied terrain and is suitable for beginners and mountain bike pros alike. You'll find a great mix of corners, rollers and jumps – ideal for improving your bike technique or enjoying a fast descent. While descending back to Bettmeralp, you pass through various alpine zones and have fantastic views of the Valais mountain panorama. The trail ends at the Wurzenbord cable car station, which brings you back to the starting point within minutes.

Author’s recommendation
Bike up to Wurzenbord! Or plan the Flowtrail firmly as part of a bike route. This makes your trail experience more challenging.
