Skiing
The Aletsch Arena and Bellwald ski areas are both easily accessible by private car and public transport. Enjoy the perfectly groomed slopes and the beautiful views of the surrounding Valais mountains. The Wilere ski lift in Binn is open daily during the vacations.
Aletsch Arena
35 lifts and ski slopes on over 104 kilometers! Snow sports on the Aletsch plateau fulfill every wish. Panoramic pistes with views of the Matterhorn, difficult steep slopes, wide carving runs and gentle beginners' slopes await you on the Fiescher, Bettmer and Riederalp.
The valley stations to the Aletsch region 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. The building of the century combines a new railroad station with a train and bus terminal and direct access to the gondolas up to the Fiescheralp. With a travel speed of up to 7 meters per second, the gondola lift is the fastest in Switzerland.

Bellwald
We also recommend the family-friendly ski area in Bellwald. You can reach Bellwald by car (approx. 30 minutes) or take the cable car from Fürgangen. NEW since June 2015, you can reach Fürgangen in just a few minutes from Mühlebach thanks to the new "Goms Bridge" suspension bridge (open all year round).
