From Riederalp over the suspension bridge to Belalp

open
  • start: Belalp (2095 m)
  • destination: Riederalp

 The 124-meter-long suspension bridge is one of the hiking highlights in the Aletsch region. Suspended 80 meters above the ground, it takes you directly in front of the glacier gate of the Great Aletsch Glacier, crossing the Massa Gorge and connecting Belalp with Riederalp. The breathtaking view into the depths of the Massa Gorge promises a real thrill and is a truly impressive experience.

In the past, it was possible to cross the Aletsch Glacier from Belalp to Riederalp, but due to the glacier’s retreat, this is no longer possible. Built in 2008, the suspension bridge re-establishes this historic connection — a project carried out in cooperation with Pro Natura, WWF, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch.
