The second stage of this circuit starts at the Dammahütte and follows a "Panorama" trail through a glacial cirque, then continues along the northern shore of the lake.

If you want to hike in the high mountains and discover a beautiful Swiss glacial lake, this is for you: Tour of the Göscheneralpsee (lake with dam) and overnight stay at the Dammahütte, a small, friendly refuge with 20 beds at an altitude of 2,440 metres. .

The first stage of this two-day circuit involves climbing up to the Damahütte via a path on the southern shore of the lake.

A magnificent hike in Val Bavona, dotted with typical stone houses. Park at the beautiful spot called Ritorto. Follow the small forest path along the Bavona for about 1 km before arriving at the very picturesque and authentic village of Foroglio, which you cross in the direction of Calneggia. You then climb very quickly up the 100 metres of the waterfall via a path consisting of numerous stone steps. You will then arrive in Val Calneggia, where you will pass a few small stone houses and cross a small bridge. The hike then follows the stream to the alpine village of Calneggia, surrounded by a cirque. Return by the same route, accompanied by the sound of the crystal-clear stream. Magnificent!

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.

This loop can be completed in a day, but it is more comfortable to spend the night in the welcoming Windgällenhütte. A beautiful balcony trail once you have crossed the very steep Bockistock corridor. The steep climb is then rewarded. Swimming is possible in the charming little Golzerensee lake.

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.

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. The final section follows the scenic Massweg trail back to Reid Morel.

An out and back walk to the summit of the Bettmerhorn starting at Ried-Morel (or alternatively, Riederalp, Bettmeralp or Morel)

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.

A superb route offering quick views of the Aletsch Glacier. You will descend towards the gorges of the Massa River (Massschlucht), which flows from the Aletsch Glacier. To cross to the other side of the canyon, you will take the 124-metre-long Massa suspension bridge, located more than 80 metres above the valley floor. After the pleasant Riederfurka Pass, you will descend to the relaxing car-free village of Riederalp.

This short hike is a prelude to the panoramic Aletsch Glacier Trail. This small car-free village is primarily a winter sports resort. 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 remarkable tour on little-used trails where nature has remained unspoilt. The Fletschhorn is just seven metres short of reaching 4,000 metres. In this massif, it stands alongside taller peaks such as the Lagginhorn (4,010 metres) and the Weissmies (4,017 metres), but it has nevertheless given its name to this route: the Simplon Fletschhorn Trekking (SFT). This route requires excellent physical condition, as some stages are quite long and have a steep elevation gain. See practical information

Although Napoleon was responsible for the construction of the Simplon Hospice, this Alpine pass, already frequented by the Romans, has been developed many times. In the 17th century, Kaspar Stockalper developed a mule track here. From the Simplon Hospice to Simplon Dorf and Gabi, you will follow this path, known as the Stockalperweg. After Gabi, crossing the Furggu pass, you will descend into the steep-sided Zwischbergen valley.
