Hike Binntal to the Binntalhütte

A walking tour through the beautiful Binntal. If you want to see flowers, butterflies and waterfalls, then this tour is for you.

Family trip suspension bridge Fürgangen – Mühlebach

At 1100 meters from the chalet is one of the longest suspension bridges in Switzerland: the suspension bridge between Fürgangen – Mühlebach.

To the top of the Aletsch Arena: the Eggishorn

With the gondola, about 700 meters from the chalet, you first arrive in Fischeralp and then you can continue to the top of the Eggishorn. The top is just under 3000 meters high (2917 m). Often there is still some snow and beautiful cairns are built every year. Enjoy coffee with a delicious cake in the mountain hut!

If you want to reach the real top, you have to climb a little further yourself. That’s about 20 minutes and then you’re at the cross. In fact, you must have done this…

Sturdy hike to the suspension bridge Riederalp - Belalp

You need a little more fitness to walk to this suspension bridge. Nevertheless, this trip is very doable. The suspension bridge connects Belalp with Riederalp. The tour starts at Riederalp and leads through the forest to the suspension bridge. You have very nice views over the Schlucht. When you cross the suspension bridge you have the option to go to a viewpoint where you can see a piece of the Aletsch glacier.

Map of Fiesch and surroundings

The chalet is located in Fiesch at an altitude of 1150m. You can go on beautiful walks and you can also choose and compile them yourself. That’s part of the anticipation. Here is the link to the SwitserlandMobility map. You will end up in a new tab: Fiesch (US). VS stands for Valais, Wallis in French.

Explanation map SwitserlandMobility

On this site of SwitserlandMobility (see picture below) you can see the current weather in Fiesch and the surrounding area. In addition, various walks that you can do, for example the Aletsch Panoramaweg. It is indicated how long this is, the height differences, the walking time and the difficulty of the walk. This way you can better estimate what you are getting into. You can also click on the corresponding map so that you can see exactly how the route runs. There are also markers for photos on the map. The legend on the left gives even more options.

App SwitzerlandMobility

You can also download the map on your phone: the app is called SwitserlandMobility (in the Google store) and is free. This is also useful for traveling (provided your subscription also includes CH; T-Mobile does not include Switzerland as standard in the data bundle, so you have to purchase additional data). Most other providers such as Vodafone and KPN have included Switzerland in the bundle next to the EU countries.

Present map on TV with SmartView

In the chalet, you can use the Smart View option of a Samsung device to mirror the screen on the flat screen so that the map is displayed large, so that others can also see how the walk is going. Another option is to connect your laptop to the TV.
