Winter Walks in the Aletsch Arena
In winter, the Aletsch Arena transforms into a peaceful snowy landscape – perfect for those who enjoy gentle activity and stunning panoramic views. Away from the ski slopes, you’ll discover snow-covered forests, wide hillsides, and frozen alpine lakes, all framed by the 40 four-thousand-meter peaks of Valais and the mighty Aletsch Glacier – the largest ice stream in the Alps.
