Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Aletsch Arena – Riederalp/Bettmeralp/Fiesch Eggishorn

The Aletsch Arena offers a good mix of easy, intermediate, and challenging runs above the tree line. These are beautifully integrated into the landscape. At the viewpoints Moosfluh, Hohfluh, Bettmerhorn, and Eggishorn, you have a fantastic view of the 23-kilometer-long Great Aletsch Glacier, the longest ice stream in the Alps and the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch. From some panoramic slopes, you can also enjoy the breathtaking natural scenery. The unobstructed view of the most beautiful four-thousand-meter peaks of Valais is also impressive.
