Intro

Fiesch: The family-friendly village with suspension rope park and the “Gogwärgiweg” dwarf-themed trail is ideally located in terms of transport. Against the stunning permanent backdrop of the Valais 4,000m peaks, the many leisure activities in the Aletsch Arena and excursions to the Aletsch Glacier or Goms will inspire you.

Fiesch at a glance

That’s Fiesch

Fiesch is located in the south of Switzerland in Valais. The village between the Rhone and Fiescher valleys is an ideal base for excursions to the Aletsch Arena, Goms and the Furka and Grimsel Alpine passes.

Discover Fiesch

Your stroll through Fiesch will take you to the pedestrianised centre of the village with its traditional chalets. You will be amazed at the clever construction of the hay barns: Stilts with stone slabs between the upper and lower levels were designed to keep pests and moisture at bay. Looking for thrills? Not far from Fiesch, the Goms Bridge crosses the Lamma Gorge. At 280 metres, it is one of the longest suspension bridges in Switzerland. The Sport Resort promises plenty of action with an indoor swimming pool, bouldering hall and the unique Swiss Suspension Rope Park.

Fiesch and Eggishorn passenger hub

As a passenger hub, changing transport is child’s play in Fiesch: Buses run on the lower level, the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn stops in the middle and up above you can catch the cable car to Fiescheralp. From there, take the cable car to the Eggishorn vantage point. At almost 3000 metres, you can marvel at the Aletsch Glacier in its entire length – even up as far as the Jungfraujoch.

Outdoor sports in the Aletsch Arena

The range of sports on offer in the Aletsch Arena is huge. In winter, a snowshoe tour to Fiescheralp is almost irresistible. The winter hiking trails to Riederalp or Bettmeralp offer a magnificent view of the Valais 4,000m peaks. The Eggishorn-Heimatt slope combines skiing fun with magnificent views. The Fieschalp-Lax toboggan run takes you down into the valley, preferably on a Valais Ghosky sled. In summer, you can get out and about with the family on the Gogwärgiweg dwarf-themed trail or on the via ferrata on the Eggishorn or maybe you’d prefer the adventure of a glacier tour.

Around Fiesch

You can reach the Upper Valais population centres of Brig or Visp in about half an hour from Fiesch. On the other side of the Rhone Valley is the pretty village of Ernen, the gateway to the Binn Valley. Explore the high valley of Goms or enjoy a trip across the Grimsel Pass or the Furka Pass with the Rhone Glacier.

Experience Fiesch for less

The Aletsch Arena Guest Card offers overnight visitors attractive discounts on mountain railways and sports facilities. The Aletsch Explorer is a mountain railway ticket that allows free travel throughout the entire Aletsch region.
