Eggishorn
A classic lookout peak at 2,927 metres where you can take in the main body of the Aletsch Glacier at a glance, along with the Jungfrau and the Matterhorn.
Take a cable car from Fiesch up to Fiescheralp, then ride the Eggishorn cable car to the summit station and walk a few minutes to the top. This is the most spectacular vantage point for the Aletsch Glacier, with views of its great bend down to Concordia Place. On clear days you can also see the Eiger, the Jungfrau, and in the distance the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. The summit station has a restaurant. Round-trip cable car fares are high, but the Swiss Travel Pass offers discounts. The summit is windy and cold, so bring a windproof jacket.
Opening hours
Cable car about 08:30–16:30 (seasonal; spring and autumn maintenance closures)
