reach the three villages. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Cars are not allowed in the area, which makes it an amazing place to relax and enjoy the silence of the Swiss Alps. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, you can book a taxi to transport your luggage and you to the hotel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The region has services including restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, banks, bakery, and pharmacies. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Let me show you the best places in the Aletsch Arena in this travel guide.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Visit the mountain villages.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As already mentioned, the \u201cAletsch Arena\u201d has three main villages called the Riederalp, Bettmeralp and the Fiescheralp. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">While the \u201cRiederalp\u201d and the \u201cBettmeralp\u201d are connected with a street and can be accessed by foot or taxi, the Fiescheralp can be only accessed by foot from the \u201cBettmeralp\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A cable car then takes you up the mountain from each village, where you can see the Aletsch Glacier in all its beauty. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There are also other villages near the main villages of the Aletsch Arena, such as Goppisberg, Martisberg, Betten, etc. In this guide we would like to focus on the main resorts.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span

inherit;\">Bettmeralp<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> \u201d is a dream village that lies directly below the Aletsch Glacier and actually my favorite place in the \u201cAletsch Arena\u201d besides the glacier. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It&#8217;s the largest village of the three main villages. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In summer you can see lupine flowers, green meadows, cows and of course the beautiful wooden chalets. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the winter is especially the vantage point with the chapel a great highlight. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And the roofs of the chalets are sometimes covered with up to 2 meters of snow, which looks really impressive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Furthermore, the region around Bettmeralp offers views over the Valais Alps. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">On good days you can even see the famous Matterhorn in Zermatt. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Bettmeralp is car free like all other villages in the \u201cAletsch Arena\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone

is to do a circular glacier hike. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You take the cable car to Moosfluh and then you hike along the \u201cAletsch Glacier\u201d while enjoying always a fantastic scenic view. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is one of the most beautiful hikes in Switzerland. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The &#8220;Aletsch Glacier&#8221; is the largest <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/switzerlandbylocals.com\/en\/7-of-the-best-spots-where-to-see-glaciers-in-switzerland-without-hiking-for-hours\/\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">glacier<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> of the whole Alps. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This means also our neighbor countries like Italy and Austria.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Fiescheralp<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aletscharena.ch\/en\/aletsch-arena\/places\/fiescheralp\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Fiescheralp<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> is the smallest of the three main villages and can be only reached by public transportation with the cable car from Fiesch. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is also very charming and the quietest of all villages. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So it is the perfect place for those seeking relaxation and for all nature lovers. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is also a real place of power, something very special.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you only have one day to spend in the \u201cAletsch Arena\u201d and you want to get to the best viewpoint of the \u201cAletsch Glacier\u201d, then you should take the cable car from Fiesch via Fiescheralp to Eggishorn. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cEggishorn\u201d is definitely my favorite regarding the best view on the Aletsch Glacier.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Mountains<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The \u201cAletsch Arena\u201d is the home of mountains with some of the most spectacular viewpoints in Switzerland. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">On all vantage points you can see the largest glacier of the alps called \u201cAletsch Glacier\u201d and other sights like Eiger, M\u00f6nch and Jungfrau.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Moosfluh <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The \u201cMoosfluh\u201d is situated above the Riederalp and can be easily reached by the cable car. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Of course you can also hike to the Moosfluh which is around 500 meters of altitude. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you want to enjoy directly the great view, I definitely recommend to take the cable car. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In winter you have great ski slopes here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Bettmerhorn<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Bettmerhorn is the mountain directly above \u201cBettmeralp\u201d and can be reached with the cable car from Bettmeralp. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you do the hike from Moosfluh to Bettmerhorn, of course you can also take the cable car back to Bettmeralp. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">On the Bettmerhorn you can enjoy a stunning view over the \u201cAletsch Glacier\u201d and the surrounding mountains.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The \u201cEggishorn\u201d is located above the Fiescheralp and Fiesch in the Canton of Valais and my absolute favorite due to the best view on the \u201cAletsch Glacier\u201d. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It lies 2927m above sea level and the best time to visit the \u201cEggishorn\u201d is in dry seasons in summer and autumn. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Camping is not necessary because hikers can climb and descend on the same day. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">On the east of the summit, have a beautiful alpine lake called \u201cM\u00e4rjelensee\u201d. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you want you can hike on the way back to Fiescheralp to this lake. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Be aware that the hiking trail is sometimes very steep.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You can also hike from \u201cEggishorn\u201d to \u201cBettmerhorn\u201d but be aware that it is a blue alpine hiking trail. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This means that only very experienced hikers can do it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align:

the start of Bettmerhorn, then climb a steep in the next one hour. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Finally, you will reach a viewing platform where you can see the \u201cAletsch Glacier\u201d, the Oberaletsch Glacier and impressive mountains like the \u201cEiger, M\u00f6nch and Jungfrau\u201d. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you love hiking then you should definitely visit the \u201cAletsch Arena\u201d in summer or autumn.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align:

relax at the shores of Lake Bettmersee and take swim. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There is also a glacier lake called \u201cM\u00e4rjelensee\u201d, but this one is also in Summer very cold.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Winter seasons <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong><span

area. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Skiers can explore the beautiful alpine landscape of the \u201cAletsch Arena\u201d and have views over Glacier like the \u201cAletsch Glacier\u201d. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Additionally, young people under the age of 21 ski for free on Saturday. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Please inform yourself about the current status. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The slopes are also ideal for snowboarding.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
