View Point Eggishorn

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are several viewpoints on the Aletsch Glacier (Belalp, Moosfluh, Bettmerhorn, Eggishorn). The Eggishorn viewpoint is for me the most beautiful viewpoint of the Aletsch Glacier from Wallis. It is best to come in the summer in good weather early, before 10:00 AM, then you can enjoy the view perfectly!

View of the Aletsch Glacier from Bettmerhorn

Highlight • Viewpoint

Magnificent view of the Aletsch Glacier and the Goms – as indicated everywhere, you should really only tackle the ridge with suitable footwear, basic fitness, and a head for heights, otherwise the fun could quickly turn into a nasty battle.

Bettmerhorn Summit

Highlight • Summit

The cross should be visible from the Bettmeralp, which is why it is not located at the highest point, which is not visible from there.

View of the Rhône Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

This mountain pasture located at the foot of the Eggishorn offers an impressive view of the Rhone Valley, also called Rotten at this location. You only have to look down to be overwhelmed by the landscape.
