Walkers on the slopes of the Glacier The dramatic views across the Aletsch Glacier Fondue - a tasty treat after a days walking! Walkers with fantastic alpine views all around A typical alpine swiss chalet

Aletsch Glacier Alpine Panorama

The Aletsch Glacier is Europe’s longest and largest natural glacier, its impressive size and structure have declared it as a UN World Heritage Site. Our self-guided walking holiday stretches from the southern slopes of Jungfraujoch, just beneath the Eiger in the Bernese Alps to the dry mountain range in the Valais area.

Experience sweeping alpine scenery, impressive 360 degree views, forest trails, colourful wild flowers and lush green valleys. Smell the crisp clean alpine air and sample the local cuisine on this wonderful week of walking.

The walking follows the trail of the glacier and the walking is moderate (3 - 6 hrs each day), a head for heights is recommended on this tour as although you will not be climbing, some sections are high and involve taking a cable car.

Fabulous walking combined with trabitional 3 star hotels. Breakfast is provided every morning and an evening meal is also included on 5 nights. baggage transfer and great back up are of course included to ensure that you enjoy every minute of your stay in the Swiss Alps.

Highlights:

  • 360 degree views across the Aletsch Glacier
  • Wild, colourful alpine flowers and lush forest walking
  • Exhilerating walking on the new spectacular suspension bridge
  • Traditional, local swiss cuisine at your overnight accommodation
