The Great Aletsch Glacier is a sight of archaic beauty. High up, at the Hohfluh, Moosfluh, Bettmerhorn and Eggishorn viewpoints, you can most clearly see the size and uniqueness of the Great Aletsch Glacier. You cannot escape the fascination of the huge ice stream, which stretches over a length of 20 km from its catchment area in the Jungfrau region (4000 m) down to the Massa Gorge, which lies around 2500 m below.
