View of Konkordiaplatz

Highlight • Viewpoint

Several firn fields flow together at Konkordiaplatz and form the Great Aletsch Glacier. In 1990, the ice there was at least 900 meters thick.

View of the Aletsch Glacier

Nice view over (almost) the whole Aletsch glacier. Invites for a picnic.

Below the viewing platform you are a lot closer to the glacier and it looks even more impressive. In contrast to the platform, it is also much quieter/more relaxed here, as not everyone makes the journey down. Clear recommendation when visiting the Bettmerhorn. 👍

View of the Aletsch Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you are coming from Hohbalm, and have just crossed the mountain crest, this is where the view of the Aletschgletscher begins to open up.
Conversely, arriving from the glacier, it is one of the last points where the latter is visible.

View Point Moosfluh

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Moosfluh summit station is located at 2333 meters and is a year-round accessible viewpoint in the Aletsch Arena. From here, you have a direct view of the Great Aletsch Glacier and the striking 4000-meter peaks of the Valais.
