Fieschertal walks

This third stage will take you to the Fieschergletcher, which runs parallel to the Aletschgletcher. On the Aspi Titter suspension bridge, you will be impressed by the depth of the Weisswasser river gorges. This fairly technical end of the route ends in the beautiful village of Bellwad, which has preserved its traditional chalets.

A very beautiful route starting from the upper Bettmerhorn station. After a panoramic viewpoint right at the start of the hike, you’ll make your way to the second summit, which offers the widest panorama of the Aletsch Glacier.

A superb alpine hike taking you from the village of Fiescheralp to the summit of the Eggishorn. You’ll go through the Tälli Tunnel and walk along the north face of the Tälligrat. At the summit of the Eggishorn, you’ll enjoy a breathtaking view of the Aletsch Glacier. As the route takes you through a tunnel beneath the Tälligrat rather than climbing to the summit and then descending, the elevation gain is overestimated: allow for around 250 m less for the actual elevation gain, both ways.

A superb panoramic hike, with a remarkable view of the Aletsch Glacier. On arriving at Riederfurka, you will notice Villa Cassel.

A stunning alpine hike taking you to the two most beautiful viewpoints over the Aletsch Glacier. In the evening, you’ll enjoy the tranquillity of these two villages, which also offer superb views of the Valais’ 4,000-metre peaks: the Dom, the Matterhorn and the Weisshorn

A magnificent route between Bettmeralp and Platta, with a viewpoint overlooking the Aletsch Glacier. You can admire the Aletsch Glacier all the way to Konkordia Platz, where several glaciers converge. This phenomenon forms the mid-moraines – lines of pebbles and rocks in the middle of the ice – which are clearly visible on the Aletsch Glacier. Along the way, before the tunnel under the Tälligrat, you can also see the Fischergletscher, another glacier in a valley further to the east.

A beautiful panoramic hike linking the resorts of Bettmeralp and Fiescheralp. Along the route, there are numerous vantage points offering views of the Valais peaks over 4,000 metres, including the Weissmies, the Mischabel massif, the Monte Rosa massif, the Matterhorn and the Weisshorn. It is possible to ascend to the Eggishorn by cable car.

A superb panoramic hike offering views of the Aletsch Glacier to the north and, to the south, of numerous peaks over 4,000 metres, including the Matterhorn, the Weisshorn and the Monte Rosa massif.

The Riederhorn is a peak overlooking the village of Riederalp. From Bettmeralp, the route follows the Aletsch Promenade and then the UNESCO Promenade to reach Rieder Furka and Villa Cassel. The route continues with the ascent of the Riederhorn and follows the ridge. The return to Villa Cassel takes you through the Bettwald forest, which overlooks the Gibidum reservoir, a lake fed by the Aletsch Glacier.

This second stage passes through the Rieder Furka and Villa Cassel again. The trail then follows a moraine offering several views of the glacier. The climb to the Härdernagrat offers exceptional views of both the Aletsch Glacier and the Valais peaks rising to over 4,000 metres, including the Matterhorn. After HohBalm, the Aletsch Glacier remains your faithful companion before disappearing at the Märjelenseestube.

The Lauberhorn is a modest peak, yet legendary amongst downhill skiers, situated above Kleine Scheidegg. It offers a superb panorama of the Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen valleys, but above all of the majestic trio formed by the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau.

A Circular walk from Ried Morel (alternatively Morel or Riederalp) taking in an easy descent through woodland to glaciated rock scenery and the hanging bridge over the Massa which is the water flowing from the Aletsch Glacier. Then crossing peaceful alpine pastures to make the ascent up the steps to Hotel Belalp before dropping again on paths and roads to the dam at the end of Stausee Gibidum.

Belalp is divided into two parts, Bäll, the traditional village, and the residential district of Sattle, close to the ski lifts. This route will allow you to discover both sides of Belalp. The trail also offers numerous views of the high peaks of the Valais, such as the Matterhorn, the Weisshorn, Monte Leone and the Fletschhorn.

Three-day itinerary featuring the two largest glaciers in the Alps. Numerous viewpoints of the Alpine glaciers and three- and four-thousand-metre peaks in Valais, such as the Matterhorn, the Weisshorn and the Fletschhorn.

A superb route that quickly offers views of the Aletsch Glacier. You’ll descend towards the gorges of the River Massa (Massschlucht), which flows from the Aletsch Glacier. To cross to the other side of the canyon, you’ll take the Massa suspension bridge, which is 124 metres long and sits at a height of over 80 metres. After the pleasant Riederfurka Pass, you’ll descend to the peaceful, car-free village of Riederalp.

A circular walk from a small parking area on the road named Fure (Marked Fure on Swiss map 3324T) which is above Ried-Morel. It takes a higher path above the Massaweg towards Stausee Gibidum, climbs to the Villa Cassel and then the top of the Riederhorn. The descent is through the forest. A pleasant and interesting excursion.

This hike is inspired by the Walser Tour and the Mineralien Tour. This magnificent route crosses numerous mountain pastures, where the dwellings are very varied: from wooden chalets to stone chalets. The hamlet of Salecchio Superiore consists of magnificent wooden chalets, several centuries old, all very well preserved. The chalet that houses the dormitories of the Rifugio "Zum Gora" dates back to the 17th century. In Italy, the route at the foot of the peaks bordering Switzerland, including Monte Leone, takes us through two regional parks: the Parco Naturale dell'Alpe Veglia and the Parco Naturale dell'Alpe Devero.

This stage is common to both the Walser Tour and the Valrando Mineral Tour. A few houses line this path in Freichi and then in Blatt. The Ofenhorn can be admired all the way to the Binntal Hütte. Although this is German-speaking territory, French is surprisingly the dominant language in this hut. The Binntal Hütte belongs to the Swiss Alpine Club: Delémont section.

This stage is common to both the Mineralien Tour and the Walser Tour. The Geisspfadpass marks the border between Switzerland and Italy. In Binn, cross the small bridge over the Binna, follow the road to Fäld for about 1 km, and a sign on the right indicates the path to Geisspfadsee and Mässersee. This path joins the one coming from Fäld at the Mässerchäller chalet (1,879 m). Follow the signs for Maniboden. The climb to the Geisspfadpass is then very easy. The descent to Piano della Rossa is through large scree, with passages equipped with chains and ladders, but no particular difficulty. The descent to Crampiolo is very pleasant.Markings: White-Red-White]. Via Alpina Blue D3 and D2
