Slopes for young and old: family fun in the Aletsch Arena ski area
The Aletsch Arena is one of the most versatile ski areas in Valais, offering winter sports enthusiasts the best conditions on 104 kilometres of slopes. 35 modern lifts take guests comfortably up to 2,869 metres into the resort. But no matter where you are: The imposing Aletsch Glacier can be seen from almost every point. And if you don't have a view of the ice giant, you will be enchanted by the surrounding peaks of over 40 four-thousand-metre peaks.
Highlights of the Aletsch Arena include the fun park near Bettmeralp, which is particularly attractive for freestylers - in addition to dozens of rails and jumps, there is also a halfpipe. Right next to it is the "Gletschi Family Funslope" for families with children, where there is plenty for the youngest skiers to experience over a length of almost 500 metres.
The programme is rounded off by sledging runs, which can even be used at night on floodlit tracks, while numerous catered huts invite you for a quick stop. The location in the UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a wide range of opportunities for the whole family and all those who want to enjoy sporting activities.
Where tradition meets modernity - highlights for families
The Aletsch Arena not only offers a diverse network of slopes, but also impresses with numerous family-friendly offers that make a winter holiday an unforgettable experience for young and old.
One particular highlight is the "Schgi fer frii" programme, where children and young people up to the age of 16 can ski for free every Saturday. Families also benefit from attractive discounts when purchasing family ski passes. Young skiers can practise in the "Snowgarden" on the Fiescheralp. This is a specially designed children's area with a magic carpet, child-friendly lifts and playful elements to help them learn their first turns quickly and safely. The fact that the region attaches great importance to a high-quality infrastructure for children is also demonstrated by the "Families Welcome" seal of approval, which recognises the child-friendly facilities and childcare in the region.
These diverse offers make the Aletsch Arena an ideal destination for a family winter holiday, offering sporting activities as well as entertainment and relaxation for all age groups.
