Fiesch, Switzerland
After a successful UCI Enduro World Championship in 2025, the venue with the largest glacier in the Alps is back on the WHOOP UCI MTB World Series circuit! With demanding, steep, technical and wild trails, Aletsch Arena & Bellwald will push every rider to their limits. This venue delivers a truly liberating pure enduro racing experience.
More details coming soon.
Aletsch Arena & Bellwald are located in the Valais region of the Swiss Alps. The event hub and finish area are based in Fiesch, with the race stages spread across the Aletsch Arena and Bellwald.
Aletsch Arena features demanding natural trails with plenty of verticl drops and stunning views of the Great Aletsch Glacier. Riders follow routes embedded in the UNESCO World Heritage Swiss Alps Jungfrau–Aletsch.
Bellwald complements this with the renowned Bike Park Bellwald, offering seven diverse trails for all skill levels. Creative trail design, flowy lines and pure alpine character make it a highlight for riders from around the world.
Together, they offer a true enduro playground with steep, technical trails, huge vertical drop and one of the most spectacular high-alpine landscapes in the Alps.
In 2025, Aletsch hosted the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships. The event saw Richie Rude return to Enduro briefly to win his second Men’s Elite World Championship title, while Elly Hoskin claimed her first in the Women’s Elite category.
“I was here last year and this was probably my favorite race venue of the year. It’s just an incredible place. Long, tough stages, super physical – and it’s beautiful. Really nice place to come.”
— Ella Conolly, Vice World Champion Women Elite 2025
“I think that is one of the things about enduro I love so much – that we can race in the most beautiful places in the world, and this is one of them.”
— Elliot Jamieson, 3rd Place Men Elite 2025
