On rails and roads to the Aletsch Arena

OFF TO THE VALAISAN HOLIDAY PARADISE

Your journey to the holiday paradise Aletsch Arena is easy and can be done by car as well as by public transport. The destinations in the valley are all well connected for both options. If your accommodation is located on the car-free plateau, parking spaces are available in the valley and the cable car is always close to the railway station. Please note: In winter there is snow on the car-free roads on Riederalp, Bettmeralp and Fiescheralp. It is therefore advisable to book luggage transport from the mountain station to your holiday accommodation for arrival and departure. In return, you will benefit from ski-in and ski-out during your stay and can use a sledge as a means of transport. For your departure, allow enough time for the way to the top station and the ride with the cable car down to the valley.

  • To make sure you don't lose any time queuing up at the ticket counter for the journey from the valley to the car-free plateau or back, you can buy your mountain railway and ski ticket as well as your luggage trolley in advance in the web shop.

  • A savings tip for you: check the SBB app or sbb.ch in good time to see whether there are savings tickets for 1st and 2nd class.

Arrival by car

You can easily reach Mörel, Betten Talstation, Lax, Fiesch and Fieschertal by your own car. The roads and passes to Valais are all very well developed, alternatively you can use a car transport. Important to know: The Furka and Oberalp passes are closed in winter. Large car parks and multi-storey car parks are available at the valley stations of the cable cars.

Bettmeralp and Betten Dorf

To get to Bettmeralp, take the train or car to Betten Talstation. Parking spaces are available on site. By the way, the space in the multi-storey car park costs the same as an outdoor space. The large-cabin aerial cable car will take you directly from Betten Talstation or the small cable car via Betten Dorf up to car-free Bettmeralp. The trips take only 7 or 9 minutes respectively. Important to know: Luggage transport is only permitted when travelling in the large cabin. Once you arrive at the top, it is worth taking advantage of the luggage service to your accommodation. The distance from one end of the alp to the other is around 1.3 kilometres.

How to bring your luggage to the car-free plateau

If you spend your holidays in the Aletsch Arena on the car-free plateau, you can have two pieces of luggage per person transported free of charge from the valley. For additional suitcases, bags, etc. you can rent a luggage trolley for a fee. The trolleys are constructed in such a way that you can stack several pieces of luggage and take the trolley into the cable car. The Aletsch Railways also offer lockers and luggage storage.
