Fiesch

Fiesch has chosen an idyllic spot in the Aletsch Arena with the banks of the glacial river Weisswasser. Above the village lies a soothing calm. Everyday life here is very cosy - even though the village is extremely popular with sports enthusiasts and families alike for winter and summer holidays in Switzerland. If you take a closer look, you'll soon notice that Fiesch has a lot to offer. It is the starting point for an excursion to View Point Eggishorn, from where the entire 23 kilometres of the Great Aletsch Glacier, the Fiescher Glacier and 40 four-thousand-metre peaks can be seen. Or as the gateway to the Goms, where 100 kilometres of cross-country ski trails and the music village of Ernen await you. From Fiesch you can reach the ski area of the Aletsch Arena in just 8 minutes.

Fiesch, at 1050 m above sea level, can be reached easily by public transport or by car via Brig and in summer also via the Furka and Nufenen Passes. Come to Fiesch - here you can relax actively.

Everything is skiing - and some snowboarding. Whatever your favourite, Fiesch is and remains an ideal starting point for extensive fun on the snow. Because from here you can reach the entire 104 kilometres of slopes of the Aletsch Arena ski area quickly and easily. Perfectly groomed pistes, guaranteed snow and a fantastic mountain panorama, including a view of the Great Aletsch Glacier, make for an all-round successful day on the slopes. For those who prefer to go straight ahead instead of downhill, there are over 100 kilometres of cross-country ski trails in nearby Goms.

Gogwärgini is the name of the small, industrious dwarves who, according to legend, once lived in Upper Valais. Children can get to know the dwarves better on the theme trail of the same name and go on a treasure hunt. Treasure maps are available at the starting point at the Guest and Information Centre in the Aletsch Arena's public transport hub. On the way to the Fieschertal playground, children will encounter eight hand-carved wooden dwarves. Other great offers and activities for children in Fiesch are:
