ブリーク-グリスのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

Anyone hoping for glacier views from the name "Aletsch Via Ferrata" ❄️ will be disappointed – because the route runs several kilometers below the Aletsch Glacier in the Massa Gorge. Instead, it offers a completely different experience: a circular route directly around the Gibidum Reservoir (1,436 m) 🌊, often extremely airy directly above the water! The approximately 3 km long tour leads through varied forest paths 🌲, walking terrain, and steep rock faces. Particularly impressive are the passages directly on the cliff edge above the water's surface – exposed, but well secured with footholds 🔗. The highlight is the approximately 80 m long Nepal Bridge 🌉, which crosses the lake at a height of almost 50 m – pure adrenaline! 😮 The route is mostly easy to moderately difficult (A-B, in places B/C) and is therefore also doable for motivated beginners if you don't suffer from vertigo. The loop ends back at the starting point at the reservoir. ⚠️ Please note: The via ferrata may be closed at short notice depending on the lake's water level!

Anyone who wants to take a shortcut.
