Belalp

Among the mountain resorts of Valais, Belalp stands out for its car-free perch above the Massa valley, facing the Great Aletsch Glacier. Reached by cable car from Blatten bei Naters, the settlement lies on the southern side of the Bernese Alps, where high pastures and ski slopes open onto a broad Alpine horizon. The Aletsch Glacier, the largest in the Alps, is part of the UNESCO Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch World Heritage Site. In winter, Belalp is known for the annual Belalp Hexe ski race, a local tradition that gives the resort a distinctive character beyond its pistes. Summer brings walking routes across the mountain terrain, while the Massa valley leads down towards the Rhône valley.
