towards the mountain
What a sublime feeling to be the first to leave fresh tracks in the snow. During a guided ski tour through the Aletsch Arena, surrounded by majestic 4000m peaks, you will cross untouched areas with an experienced mountain guide and approach your goal step by step. Once you reach the top, it's time to get ready for your dream descent. The unspoilt slopes of the impressive Valais winter landscape and a thoroughly intensive experience of nature await you.
In 2020, the Aletsch Arena received the "Best Ski Resort" awards in the category "Rest and Recreation".
There are several guided tours. From the "ski tour for beginners" to the "ski tour for experienced" everything is included. The tour description explains in each case for which level the respective tour is suitable.
Missing technical equipment like touring skis, climbing skins and avalanche transceivers can be rented at Volken Sport in Fiesch.
Ski tours are possible from approx. 15 years of age, simple tours partly also from 12 years of age. Depending on the length of the tour and the size of the child, even earlier. There is no equipment for small children yet and they often do not have the necessary strength in the fresh snow.
A good physical condition for daily marching times of 2 to 5 hours (depending on the length of the tour) and mastery of the stem turn in every type of snow are required. The marching times are without breaks. No ski touring experience is necessary.
