The starting point of the circular tour is Bettmeralp cable car mountain station. The first section is a relaxed downhill ride on asphalt to the hamlet of Domo. There, you take the forest road on your left and ride through Baderwald Forest in the direction of Martisberg. In the hairpin bend, turn off left onto the single trail. It climbs slightly to begin with, but then levels out through Laggerwald. Stay on the single trail until a forest road branches off to the left towards Laxerstafel. Here you start the climb up to Fiescheralp. Once on the Aletsch plateau, continue on over Laxeralp up to the Hohbalm view point. Your reward for all the effort? A real highlight: a view that comprises the Great Aletsch Glacier and the surrounding mountain ranges! Return along the same path to start with, before turning right at Laxeralp. The last section of the tour takes you via the Bättmer-Hitta and Lake Bettmersee back to Bettmeralp.
