Fun & Adventure throughout the Aletsch Arena with Gletschi’s Wooden Marble Runs At various stations, young and old adventurers can enjoy exciting wooden marble runs and stamp their Gletschi Pass. Right next to the marble runs, you’ll find Gletschi panels with stampers, making the stamping experience even more fun.

 

New since summer 2025: A brand-new wooden marble run is now also located on the Fiescheralp near the Alpenlodge Restaurant.

 

The Gletschi Passes are available at our ticket offices and at the following restaurants: Alpenlodge Restaurant, Bättmerhitta Restaurant, Bettmerhorn Restaurant, Riederfurka Restaurant and Buvette Moosfluh.

 

Each of these locations (except Moosfluh) features a vending machine filled with wooden marbles. The marbles can be purchased for just CHF 2 and used on any of the marble runs. At the Moosfluh Buvette, the marbles are available directly at the counter.

 

Whether you complete the trail in one day or several is up to you. Once the kids have collected all the stamps in their Gletschi Pass, they can redeem a cool reward at any of the participating restaurants: a refreshing blue Gletschi syrup and a cuddly Gletschi plush keychain. Have fun discovering and playing!
