Switzerland 🇨🇭|The area surrounding the largest alpine glacier❄️ - Aletsch Glacier

Environment/Facilities-🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Features-🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Price per person - 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Rating - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 transportation I took the train from Lausanne to Fiesch, leaving at 12:22 and arriving at 15:31. I had to change trains in Brig on the way, and the whole journey took 3 hours and 9 minutes. The full ticket cost CHF 55.4. Holders of a valid "Swiss Transport Permit" or "Swiss Flexible Transport Permit" can ride for free. After getting off the bus, I saw a bus waiting outside the train station. I asked the driver and was told that the bus would go to the cable car station, saving me the effort of walking to the cable car station (although it was not far). I believe the "Swiss Flexible Transport Pass" covers the bus fare, and I showed it when I got off the bus, but the driver seemed to have no intention of checking the ticket. The round trip ticket for the Fiescheralp-Eggishorn cable car icon is CHF 45, and I got it at half price with the "Swiss Flexible Transport Pass". The cable car is divided into two sections, with one train every half hour. The website has a timetable and the whole journey takes a total of 25 minutes. The Aletsch Glacier can be seen from outside the cable car station on the mountain, but the view would be better if we continued to climb to the top of Eggishorn at an altitude of 2,927 meters. Unfortunately, the snow outside the cable car station was so deep that the road was slippery and we could not go up the mountain. On the way back, I took the train from Fiesch back to Lausanne, departing at 17:21 and arriving at 20:08. I had to change trains in Brig on the way. The whole journey took 2 hours and 47 minutes. The full ticket cost CHF 55.4. Holders of a valid "Swiss Transport Permit" or "Swiss Flexible Transport Permit" can ride for free. background Incredibly vast and indescribably beautiful: the Aletsch Glacier, the most spectacular and popular snow and ice stream in the Alps. The glacier is easily accessible and is ideal for long hikes, winter sports and special excursions. describe The Aletsch region has been listed as a World Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO, not only because of the "Great Aletsch Glacier" with more than 1.1 billion tons of ice and snow, and its reputation as the largest glacier in the Alps, but also because the area is full of rare plants and is the habitat of many rare animals. The lush Aletsch Forest is their gathering place. Near the forest is the Pro Natura nature reserve. There are also numerous viewpoints around the area where you can admire the beautiful Aletsch Glacier, such as the Bettmerhorn on the Bettmeralp. Visitors can take a cable car from Fiesch to Eggishorn, where they can enjoy a panoramic view of the winding glacier upstream. In addition, Lake Märjelen, which is fed by glacial meltwater, is located in the corner of the glacier. #weekendtrip #outsidetravel #relax #Switzerland #glacier #hiking #SwissAlps #Swisstravelphotos
