From sunset to sunrise
From Bettmeralp to Belalp, experience a guided hike steeped in legend – a touch of mysticism between sunset and sunrise.
After meeting your fellow hikers for the night at the Bettmerhorn valley station, you take the last cable car up to the Bettmerhorn view point together. Enjoy the magnificent vista of the Aletsch Glacier and then a delicious dinner at the Bettmerhorn Panorama Restaurant, before starting an unforgettable hike over the Aletschgrat to Riederfurka, across the suspension bridge to Aletschji, and finally from Aletschbord to the Sparrhorn. At sunrise, you toast your success at the summit of the Sparrhorn before making your way down to Belalp, where a hearty breakfast awaits you. Happy but tired, you then travel back to Brig.
