3-Day Aletsch Glacier Tour
Day 1
From Fiescheralp, we take the cable car up to Eggishorn. Here, we enjoy a fantastic view of our route and the Aletsch Glacier as it winds through the mountains. We hike down onto the Aletsch Glacier, then make a steady ascent across the ice to Konkordia Hut. The view of Konkordiaplatz, with its ice up to 800 m thick, is breathtaking.
Day 2
Early in the morning, we descend the famous iron staircase from Konkordia Hut to the glacier. The tour across the Aletschfirn to Hollandia Hut takes 5 to 7 hours, depending on how much of the crevasse zone is exposed. The spectacular view over the Lötschental from Hollandia Hut makes the strenuous ascent worthwhile.
Day 3
Descent to Fafleralp in the Lötschental: 5–6 hours. We gradually leave the barren glacier landscape behind. With every little flower pushing through the cracks in the rock, we look forward to getting closer to life, flora and fauna with every step.
