Winter Sports in Fiescheralp

ittle-known outside of Switzerland, the Aletsch Arena is a total delight with a great range of skiing, a fabulous long run from the Eggishorn, child-friendly facilities, good rail links and stunning views - including the best views over the Aletsch glacier. Three small car-free communities in the mountains mirror valley communities with railway stations and cable cars, with the Eggishorn area the most northerly and easterly in the Aletsch Arena.
