Bettmeralp hiking routes offer views of the Aletsch Glacier

Hiking routes in the Swiss Alps offer scenic paths around the Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier in the Alps. One notable circular route begins and ends at the Bettmeralp mountain station, passing through the car-free village of Riederalp.

Paths such as the Aletsch Promenade and the UNESCO Promenade lead hikers toward Rieder Furka and the Riederhorn summit. These routes provide views of the glacier, the Bettwald forest, and various alpine lakes including Blausee and Bettmersee. From high points like Moosfluh, hikers can observe the Matterhorn and other 4,000-meter peaks.
