BELALP WITCHES' DESCENT

For one week in January, everything at the Blatten-Belalp ski resort revolves around the theme of witches. The Belalp Witch Festival is a week-long event that reaches its undisputed highlight on Saturday with the Belalp Witches’ Downhill Race. In the lead-up to the big Witches’ Downhill, however, various other races are held throughout the week, and spectators are also treated to a comprehensive supporting program featuring the Witches’ Nights and the Witches’ Children’s Festival.

The Belalp Witch event traces its origins to an old Valais legend. According to the legend, a witch once wreaked havoc here. In memory of those bygone days, the Belalp Witch Downhill was launched more than 45 years ago.

Come join us and let yourself be enchanted by the mystical atmosphere on Belalp!
