Ski holidays Fiesch – sunny holiday village in the Aletsch region

Fiesch

The holiday village of Fiesch is the tourist centre of the Fieschertal valley and lies at its entrance at an altitude of 1,049 metres. The Weisswasser river flows through the village, fed by the clear meltwater from the Fiesch glacier, and eventually joins the Rhône, which flows below the sun-drenched slope.

The small village is the ideal starting point for mountain sports in the Aletsch region. With direct lift connections to the Aletsch Arena, active visitors will find ideal conditions for skiing, cross-country skiing, ski touring, snowshoeing, tobogganing and even paragliding. Fiesch lies at the foot of the Eggishorn, which is ideal for winter sports on skis and sledges and offers a fantastic viewpoint at its mountain station at 2,869 metres. From here, you have a panoramic view of the four-thousand-metre peaks of the Bernese Alps with the famous trio of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, the mighty Aletsch Glacier and the smaller Fiesch Glacier, and, on a clear day, a distant view of the Matterhorn.

A holiday in the Swiss Aletsch Arena will make you relax and experience impressive nature: the valley and holiday resorts Mörel-Filet, Betten, Fieschertal, Fiesch and Lax can be reached comfortably by car. The health resorts Riederalp, Bettmeralp und Fiescheralp at the Aletsch Glacier are all car-free and can be reached via gondola.

In the Aletsch Arena you have a great view of the most beautiful 4,000-meter mountains of the Valais. Once you reach the sun terrace high above the Rhone Valley, you will be able to enjoy a superlative alpine panoramic view as well as a ski area that leaves no wish unfulfilled:

The ski area Aletsch Arena offers ski and snowboard fun on 104 km of pistes. You can also marvel at the longest ice flow in the Alps (23 km), which is part of the UNESCO world culture heritage site "Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch".
