Technics
Endurance
Aletschgletscher, Bern – Wallis
The ice masses of the Aletsch Glacier are unique. When you cross the Aletsch Glacier, you experience the ice up close and personal and walk through the mountain world of the Jungfraujoch, spend the night in the high-altitude Konkordiaplatzhütte and climb back into the green nature at the end of the glacier. We will show you and explain the various phenomena on the glacier, how it forms, how it flows and what kind of creatures there are on the ice. Experience the mighty power of the Aletsch Glacier at first hand.
Procedure and meeting place
We meet on the Jungfraujoch, right by the first coffee bar after arriving from the train. After being greeted by the mountain guide, we start our tour together.
We cross the upper part of the Aletsch Glacier, the Jungfraufirn, cross the Konkordiaplatz and suddenly find ourselves above 800 metres of ice. From here we climb the steps up to the Konkordiahütte where we spend the night.
Beim Morgengrauen geht es los und wir steigen weglos zurück auf den Gletscher. Im unteren Teil hat es einiges an Steinen auf dem Gletscher. Dies ist nun der Grosse Aletschgletscher. Beim Märjelen See verlassen wir den Gletscher und steigen hoch. Hier gibt es Kaffee und Kuchen, bevor wir zurück zur Fiescheralp gehen.
Von der Fiescheralp fahren wir mit der Seilbahn runter ins Tal nach Fiesch. Von dort treten wir mit dem Zug um ca. 15:00 Uhr die Heimreise an – mit beglückenden Erinnerungen und gewaltigen Gletschereindrücken im Kopf.
