  • Aletsch Panoramaweg

    51.2 km · +2756 m

    A high-altitude ridge walk above the Great Aletsch Glacier — the largest glacier in the Alps, stretching 23 kilometres — the Panoramaweg runs from Bettmerhorn down to Fiescheralp, keeping the glacier's massive ice surface and surrounding 4,000-metre peaks in constant view.

    5.8 km · +257 m

  • Egga - Belalp

    4.7 km · +699 m

  • Blatten - Belalp

    11.5 km · +2050 m

  • Klettersteig Aletsch

    3.2 km · +334 m

    Climbers traverse the western shore of the Gibidum reservoir along iron rungs, log bridges, and natural footholds — and when the lake is full, the route skirts just above the icy glacial water. The highlight is an 80 m long, 40 m high Nepal suspension bridge, from which you can spot the scour marks left by the mighty Aletsch Glacier etched into the surrounding rock.

From the open meadows beyond the gorge, the path opens onto views across the Rhone Valley.
