Bettmerhorn
A lookout peak above Bettmeralp with a glacier exhibition at the summit station, overlooking the middle section of the Aletsch Glacier.
A cable car from Bettmeralp takes about 10 minutes to reach the Bettmerhorn, at roughly 2,647 metres, where the observation platform faces the middle section of the Aletsch Glacier. The summit station houses the Glacier World exhibition, which explains glacier formation, retreat and climate change. In summer, you can follow the ridge trail toward Eggishorn or descend via Märjelen Lake, or walk down to Bettmersee and return to the village. In winter, the area is a ski area.
Opening hours
