Bettmeralp
A car-free mountain village at about 1,950 meters, the main base for the Aletsch Arena, with picturesque wooden chalets and a small chapel.
Bettmeralp sits on a high plateau above the Rhone Valley and can only be reached by cable car from Betten below. Combustion-engine vehicles are banned in the village, so electric vehicles and walking are the main ways to get around. Wooden chalets and a small chapel are scattered across the grassy slopes. It is the starting point for the Bettmerhorn, Bettmersee and the Glacier Trail, and in winter it is a popular family ski resort. The village has a supermarket, restaurants and hotels, and it is one of the top places to stay in the Aletsch area.
