Great mountain tour. Great view. Initially some circulatory problems due to the rapid change in altitude, but quickly got used to it. Exciting descent to Fischeralp/train station. Overall a great day on holiday. But CAUTION: the detour to the glacier from the glacier hut does not take 10 minutes as stated, but rather 1 hour!

The view of the Aletsch glacier is splendid. In addition, we did the via ferrata which is also very beautiful. Small downside, the prices at the Horli-Hitta restaurant. In summary, a magnificent day... to be repeated

Thank you Martin for an unforgettable experience, for your calm, positive and professional manner! We will be back ☺️

This visit depends on the weather, but you should have been there at least once to see how nature moves

A fantastic view of the glacier. You can leave your car in a nearby car park at an affordable price.
