Description
At the heart of the protected area, which extends from the Jungfrau to the Bietschhorn, stands the 24 km long and up to 900 m thick Aletsch Glacier, of course. The landscape around the glacier is bare and bleak, yet with a certain beauty of its own. The mountains in the Aletsch area reach heights of over 4000 m.

The starting point for the walk is in Fiesch. From there you go by cable-car up to the Fiescheralp. From the Fiescheralp the path goes first up to the Märjelensee, with wonderful views. Then a stunning path alongside the glacier takes you on towards Riederalp. From the Moosfluh you then go down with the cable-car to the Riederalp. A second cable-car takes you to Mörel, and from there you can go back to Fiesch by train. You can buy a round-trip ticket for the whole tour.
