UNESCO high trail from Bettmerhorn to EggishornTo the north , the hike on the ridge offers an incredible view of the great Aletsch glacier and the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. The three mountains that gave the World Heritage Site its name, the Bietschhorn, Aletschhorn and Jungfrau. Looks as if you could reach out and touch them! To the south is a stunning view of the Rhone valley, the Binntal (valley) and the mountains of the Valaisian Alps. This hike from the Bettmerhorn gondola top station to the Eggishorn station takes approximately 3 hours. The trail secured with climbing aids where appropriate, continues from here about 1.5 km (0.93 miles) along the ridge until its end. There you cross a steep step (there are fixed ropes to hold on to) down to Elselücke. From Elselücke, you walk along a nice, wide hiking trail for about 45 minutes until you reach the Eggishorn top station, or you can continue straight back to Fiescheralp and the Bettmeralp starting point. The UNESCO high trail is an alpine hike (signposted blue-white-blue) It is advised that you not depart from the signposted trail from the Bettmerhorn ridge to Elselücke. Top level hiking! |
