Fun and games throughout the entire Aletsch Arena with Gletschi's wooden ball runs. At various stations, young and old adventurers can enjoy exciting wooden ball runs where they can stamp their Gletschi pass. Right next to the ball runs are Gletschi boards with pinchers that make stamping a real experience.
New since summer 2025, there is also a wooden ball run on the Fiescheralp near the Alpenlodge restaurant.
The Gletschi passes are available at our ticket offices, as well as at the following gastronomy establishments: Restaurant Alpenlodge, Restaurant Bättmerhitta, Restaurant Bettmerhorn, Restaurant Riederfurka, and Buvette Moosfluh.
All mentioned establishments have a vending machine filled with wooden balls. These can be purchased for only CHF 2 and used at any wooden ball run. Please note that the Buvette Moosfluh does not have a vending machine. Here the ball can be obtained directly in the Buvette. A nice souvenir for home.
Whether you do the route in one or multiple days is up to you. As soon as the children have fully stamped their Gletschi pass, a great reward awaits them at one of the above gastronomy establishments. They can pick up a refreshing blue Gletschi syrup and a Gletschi plush keychain. Have fun discovering and playing.
