Take the train to Betten and from there the gondola up to Bettmeralp. After a 10 minute walk though the village, you take the gondola up to Bettmerhorn. You get an impressive view of Aletsch Glacier right from the start as you step out of Bettmerhorn mountain station. Aletsch Glacier stretches over 23 km from its formation in the Jungfrau region high up around 4,000 m down to the Massa Gorge at its end ca. 2,500 m lower. Every year the glacier shrinks 50 m in length, but it still looks huge for now.
The hike from Bettmerhorn along the glacier to the Märjelen Lakes and Fiescheralp is easy and short, famous for its breathtaking views of Aletsch Glacier and just right for people in the mood for an enjoyable, touristy walk. We took the short cut through the mountain tunnel near restaurant "Gletscherstube" after having a soup lunch there, instead of trying the routes over or around Eggishorn on the way to Fiescheralp, because my companions were exhausted from a monster climb they did the the day before and wanted to take it easy. Before we took the gondola down from Fiescheralp, we enjoyed an ice cream on the terrace of the restaurant next to the station.
