Winter hiking in Aletsch Arena

Five routes on the car-free terraces of Riederalp and Bettmeralp, from Moosfluh down to Riederalp, and along the valley at Fiesch. Each is on the official list of Swiss winter hiking trails, with a map and a free GPX.

Before you go: is it open today?

Winter paths open, close and are prepared from day to day, and lifts and mountain railways keep their own winter timetables. This page cannot say what is open today.

Winter status report: each winter hiking trail open or closed (Aletsch Arena AG)

Each route below also links to its page at SwitzerlandMobility. Daylight in mid-January: about 08:07 to 17:06 (8 h 58) on a flat horizon; mountains shorten it in the valleys.
