The two downhill runs in the Valais mountain village of Bellwald begin at the mountain station on the Alpe Richenen at 2,040 meters above sea level and end directly at the valley station chairlift in Bellwald. No one is guaranteed to get bored on the 2,200-meter-long downhill slopes.
The first objects that will make the bike take off are already waiting for the first 200 meters - and then you continue through steep wall curves, kickers, step-ups, step-downs and wooden bridges. In addition to the Raceline, there are of course also various Northshores. Chickenways are also available for the less experienced; a pump track is in the making.
