The 124 m long suspension bridge is one of the hiking highlights in the Aletsch region. At a height of 80 m, it leads you across the Massa Gorge directly in front of the glacier snout of the Great Aletsch Glacier. Crossing it is an impressive experience and lets the adrenalin rush through your veins.
If in former times, one got from the Belalp to the Riederalp over the Aletsch Glacier, today, this is not possible anymore due to the glacier regression. The suspension bridge built in 2008 restores this old connection; all in cooperation with Pro Natura, the WWF and the UNESCO World Heritage "Swiss Alps Aletsch-Jungfrau".
...all over the Upper Valais. Experience the highlights of the hiking areas in the Upper Valais. This programme takes you individually to the most beautiful hiking areas. Climb a 3000m high mountain, the Sparrhorn. Discover the Simplon Pass on the border to Italy. Explore the Binntal, the unknown mineral paradise. Enjoy the alta via high above the Goms valley. Hike along the longest glacier in the Alps, the great Aletsch Glacier.
The programme offers a choice of 15 different, varied walks. We will help you to put together your personal programme. For each selected hike you will receive a detailed map and a description of the hike.
For decades we have been organising hiking weeks in Breiten: in summer in hiking boots, in winter on snowshoes we discover the whole of the Upper Valais. We know the area like "our trouser pocket" and can recommend different tours for every taste and every level of difficulty. Depending on your wishes, we can help you to put together a programme to suit your needs or organise the entire hiking stay for your group and accompany you personally on the hikes. Please get in touch with us. We are looking forward to your questions and wishes.
