Brig is a charming, historic alpine town at the heart of
an area offering a broad range of holiday delights. The
springs at Brigerbad have been known since the Middle
Ages; today they are the largest open-air thermal baths
in Switzerland.
The contrasting landscape around
Blatten-Belalp, and local people’s firm attachment to
their homeland and their traditions, make for a unique
magic in this holiday region around the Great Aletsch
Glacier – a magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site
waiting to be explored. Across the valley, Rosswald and
Rothwald are the gateway to a mountain hiking paradise,
and good bases for exploring the Simplon region. The
sunny village of Mund, meanwhile, is famous for its
saffron. A walk from Birgisch through the wild and
romantic Gredetsch valley leads along beautifully laidout
“bisses” – irrigation canals – all the way to Mund.
Valley of minerals.
Among mineral aficionados, the wild and romantic Binntal is a classic: more than 160 varieties of crystal, some extremely rare, are found in this nature reserve, which borders directly on the oldest natural park in Piedmont in Italy. Old smugglers’ routes, now marked as footpaths and mountain bike trails, lead up to the passes in just a few hours. The geological centre and educational trail reveal many of the valley’s hidden secrets.The Jungfrau-Aletsch Region is nowlabelled World Natural Heritage by UNESCO.Known for the extraordinary beauty of its land-scape,it is the first and only site in the Alps tobear this honorable distinction.
