Fiesch

Hint

Intro

グリムゼル峠やフルカ峠を越えて多くの旅人が訪れたゴムス地方の端にあたり、フィーシャータール（フィーシュ谷）の入口でもある山間の村。氷河特急の路線上にあり、ここからロープウェイを乗り継ぎ、エッギスホルン展望台へ結ぶアレッチ氷河観光の拠点のひとつです。

かつて、フィーシュの上に広がるキューボーデンKühboden（現フィーシャーアルプFiescheralp ）に、アレッチ氷河からユングフラウ方面への登山の拠点として英国人に愛された伝説的な宿『ホテル・ユングフラウ Hotel Jungfrau（後にその建物は火事で消滅）』があり、山岳観光の中心地として古くから栄えてきた歴史を誇っています。

現在も、氷河特急ルートの路線上にある鉄道駅フィーシュからフィーシャーアルプ、エッギスホルンの展望台へとロープウェイで結んでおり、世界遺産でもある雄大なアレッチ氷河や、ローヌ谷をはさんで広がるヴァレー（ヴァリス）アルプスの連山を見渡すことができます。絶景ハイキングを楽しむ人でにぎわっています。フィーシャーアルプから山の裏側にあたる氷河湖メィエレンゼーMärjelenseeに歩いていくコースも人気です。
