With the new public transport hub in Fiesch, getting to the Aletsch Arena is now even more attractive. Take the train comfortably to Fiesch and then head straight up to the car-free ski area by gondola lift. It’s sustainable, family-friendly, and even accessible for people with disabilities.
The Aletsch Arena can be reached by private or public transport. To access the ski area, travel by car or train to Mörel, Betten valley station (please enter Grengiols, Guldersand in your navigation device), or Fiesch. From there, cable cars take you up to the ski area and to the accommodation locations Riederalp (Mörel), Bettmeralp (Betten valley station), or Fiescheralp (Fiesch), which are all located directly in the ski area. The ski resorts Riederalp, Bettmeralp, and Fiescheralp are car-free. Vehicles remain at the valley stations, and parking there is subject to a fee. Arrival by car is possible from several directions.
