In the summer months, two-day glacier treks lead to the ice giant’s origins – for an unforgettable experience. The best views of the Aletsch Glacier are offered by the Moosfluh, Bettmerhorn and Eggishorn viewpoints in Valais – which are easily accessible by gondola or cable car.

High up on the Moosfluh, Hohfluh, Bettmerhorn and Eggishorn viewpoints is the best place to admire the scale and unique magic of the Great Aletsch Glacier. This huge river of ice that stretches over 20 km from its formation in the Jungfrau region (at 4000 m) down to the Massa Gorge, around 2500 m below, fascinates and inspires every visitor.

2024年7月16日 · The Aletsch Glacier is so spectacular and unusual that it is listed as an Aletsch-Jungfrau UNESCO World Heritage Area. Hiking the glacier gives you the chance to not only walk on ice, but also soak up the ethereal ice shapes, pools of sparking water that shine like aquamarine gemstones, and pearl-white vistas that seem to go on forever.

2021年6月4日 · Admire the impressive Aletsch glacier from the top of the Riederalp cable car and enjoy a leisurely stroll along a short panorama trail.

2015年6月24日 · For most people, the best time of year to visit Aletsch Glacier is summer. In winter, you can’t see the clear delineation of the glacier from the surroundings; instead, it’s just a solid sheet of snow. Plus the trail can be impassable with bad weather or when the cable cars aren’t running in winter.

Here’s the place to learn plenty about this supposed eternal world of ice at the exhibition and vantage point. Those wanting to get closer select the glacial path to the famous Marjelensee lake, then return via Fiescheralp back to the Bettmeralp.

2020年9月24日 · Hiking is one of the main summer activities in Switzerland and the beautiful mountain panorama is always worth the detour.
