The largest glacier in the Alps, the Aletsch Glacier, lies untouched in the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site. For three days, we devote ourselves to the ice giant and hike across the crunching ice, encountering tiny glacier fleas and rushing meltwater, always accompanied by an impressive mountain backdrop.
The tour from the Jungfraujoch via the Konkordiahütte to the Riederalp does not require any previous mountain experience. However, good surefootedness on pathless terrain, a head for heights and sufficient fitness are prerequisites for participation.
