Alpine SAC hut in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Aletsch Glacier". Here you can experience a magnificent sunset high above the glacier, far away from civilisation.
Aletsch Glacier experience | Crossing into the Lötschental valley
Experience and get to know Switzerland's largest glacier up close, crossing it in 3 days and staying overnight in the comfortable Anen mountain hotel.
The Aletsch Glacier is fascinating. It flows mightily from the Jungfraujoch to Konkordiaplatz in the direction of Valais. We cross the Aletsch Glacier in 3 days and marvel at its ice masses from close up. The experience starts with the train journey to the Jungfraujoch and we immediately set off into the mountain world and descend to the Konkordiaplatz, experience what 800 metres of ice feels like underneath you and climb on to the Lötschenlücke where we spend the night in the Hollandiahütte. Here we enjoy a unique view of the glacier and the mountains. On the second day we have time to look at the phenomena and interesting facts about the glacier and benefit from the knowledge of the mountain guide. We see the glacier dolines, annual rings, glacier tables and many impressive crevasses. We walk safely, comfortably and pleasantly with the mountain guide from the Lötschenlücke down to the Anenhütte. This is a mountain hotel, beautifully and chicly furnished on the edge of the glacier. On the last day, we walk down the glacier tongue in a final stage, marvel at the glacier gate and return to vegetation and civilisation.
