Fiesch occupies the upper Rhône valley in Valais, on the northern side of the river beneath slopes rising towards the Eggishorn. The village is a principal access point to the Aletsch Arena, where the Great Aletsch Glacier is the defining feature of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage site. A cable car from Fiesch connects the valley’s railway corridor with Fiescheralp and the Eggishorn area, bringing high Alpine walking routes within easy reach. Fiesch also belongs to the Goms, a part of Valais associated with Alpine farming traditions and characteristic timber-built houses.
