The winter destinations of Aletsch Arena, Bellwald, and Goms are easily accessible by car and public transportation. They offer perfectly groomed slopes with impressive views of the Valais mountains and a wide range of winter experiences away from the slopes. All three regions offer attractive winter hiking and snowshoe trails, while Goms also scores highly with its excellently groomed cross-country ski trails.
Aletsch Arena
35 lifts and ski slopes covering over 104 kilometers! Snow sports on the Aletsch Plateau fulfill every wish. Panoramic slopes with views of the Matterhorn, challenging steep slopes, wide carving runs, and gentle beginner hills await you on the Fiescheralp, Bettmeralp, and Riederalp.
The valley stations for the Aletsch area can be reached in just a few minutes by car or public transport! In winter, a free sports bus runs regularly between Steinhaus (Ernen) and the public transport hub in Fiesch. This landmark building combines a new train station with a train and bus terminal and direct access to the gondolas up to Fiescheralp. With a speed of up to 7 meters per second, the gondola lift is the fastest in Switzerland.
