Visit Aletsch glacier
The Aletsch Glacier is the longest and largest glacier in the Alps. It is 23 kilometers long, 4160 meters tall at its tallest point, and 940 meters thick. It is certainly one of the top three places to visit in Switzerland. Others include Zermatt and the Matterhorn and Jungfrau area. To reach the observation point, ride a gondola from Fiesch all the way to the summit. In the summer, the gondola runs from 9 a.m. to 17 p.m.
On your journey to the Aletsch Glacier, stop in Fiescheralp, a little mountain community with a few eateries and a really lovely panoramic walk leading to Bettmeralp. When you get to the Aletsch Glacier station, there are a few observation sites and a hut/restaurant named Horli-Hitta. If you have additional time, you may trek to Eggishorn for even greater glacier views. If you want to try something new, you may go on a glacier trip, where you will go directly to a glacier and stroll around it with a trained guide.
