- 16/10/2026

This winter hike from Fiescheralp to Bettmeralp, on to Hohfluh and Riederfurka, and finally down to Riederalp combines three of the most beautiful winter hiking trails in the Aletsch Arena into one long panoramic tour. 

It is ideal for anyone looking for more than just a short stroll. From Fiescheralp to Riederalp, hikers are accompanied by views of the Valais four-thousand-metre peaks, with ever-changing vistas of snow-covered alpine pastures and the Great Aletsch Glacier. A good level of fitness is particularly important for the second half of the hike: after Bettmeralp, the trail climbs significantly once again before descending along a long stretch to Riederalp.
