Aletsch Glacier Hiking Trails

A vast network of hiking trails provides access to and views of the magnificent Aletsch Glacier. Popular routes include the Aletsch Panorama Trail (easy to moderate, 3-4 hours) offering continuous glacier views, and the more challenging UNESCO High Trail. Guided glacier walks are available for those wishing to explore the ice itself, typically requiring specific equipment and a mountain guide. Trails are generally accessible from June to October, depending on snow conditions. Prices for guided tours vary but start from around 100-150 CHF per person.
