Workation

Work where others holiday: your workation experience in Valais

Picture this: you start off your working day with a coffee and a view of the majestic mountain panorama. Fresh mountain air fills your lungs, and after work, there are hiking trails, ski slopes or bike trails awaiting discovery right on your doorstep. In the Aletsch Arena, remote work becomes a source of fresh inspiration.

What is a workation – and why here in particular?

A workation combines productive work with all the advantages of a holiday region. In the Aletsch Arena in Valais, the car-free villages of Riederalp, Bettmeralp and Fiescheralp are situated at 2000 metres above sea level – exuding a tranquillity conducive to focus and creativity. And if you come by public transport, you’re travelling sustainably. With no city noise to distract you, the fresh mountain air boosts your concentration. The region also offers a spectacular mountain backdrop with views of the Great Aletsch Glacier. And after work? Hiking, skiing or biking – here you can give it all you’ve got and enjoy countless hours of sunshine in Switzerland’s sunniest region.

Why is a workation of benefit to your company?

Employers are increasingly recognising that flexible workplaces boost employee motivation and satisfaction. A workation is a modern smart work option that enhances the attractiveness of a company – especially to young talent. This type of working offers more room for creativity and innovation. Studies show that staff are happier when they have workplace flexibility. It lets them bring work and leisure into harmony and benefit from a healthy work-life balance.

Coworking space and meeting rooms

In the heart of the car-free Aletsch Arena, the Royal on Riederalp and the Hayloft on Bettmeralp offer inspiring spaces for focused work, workshops and creative retreats. Whether it’s a modern coworking space in the light-flooded roundel or a charmingly converted hayloft with alpine flair – both locations combine nature, tranquillity and digital infrastructure. Ideal for teams, digital nomads and anyone who wants to rethink work and recreation.
