Slopes/runs Aletsch Arena – Riederalp/Bettmeralp/Fiesch Eggishorn

The Aletsch Arena offers a good mixture of easy, intermediate and difficult runs above the tree line. They are integrated interestingly into the landscape. From the viewing points at Moosfluh, Hohfluh, Bettmerhorn and Eggishorn, there are fantastic views of the 23 km long Great Aletsch Glacier, the longest ice stream of the Alps and the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Swiss Alps' Jungfrau-Aletsch. The breath-taking natural landscape can also be enjoyed from some of the panorama slopes. The clear views of the most beautiful 4000 meter peaks in Valais are also very impressive.
