Fieschertal

Among the Alpine communities of Valais, Fieschertal stands out for territory reaching into the high country around the Aletsch Glacier. The municipality lies in the valley of the Wysswasser, a tributary of the Rhône, where forests and steep mountain slopes rise above the settlement. The Aletsch Glacier forms part of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage property, recognised for its exceptional Alpine glacier landscape. Fieschertal’s high pastures reflect the seasonal livestock traditions that have shaped Valais mountain communities for generations.
