Märjelenseen

Highlight • Lake

The Märjelensee is one of several picturesque small mountain lakes located on the edge of the Aletsch Glacier in the rocky Merjelental valley. From here, you have a fantastic view of the glacier. A spectacular adventure hike offers many highlights here and is well worth it.

View of Konkordiaplatz

Highlight • Viewpoint

Several firn fields flow together at Konkordiaplatz and form the Great Aletsch Glacier. In 1990, the ice there was at least 900 meters thick.

Aletsch Glacier

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

Below the viewing platform you are a lot closer to the glacier and it looks even more impressive. In contrast to the platform, it is also much quieter/more relaxed here, as not everyone makes the journey down. Clear recommendation when visiting the Bettmerhorn. 👍

View of the Aletsch Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you are coming from Hohbalm, and have just crossed the mountain crest, this is where the view of the Aletschgletscher begins to open up.
Conversely, arriving from the glacier, it is one of the last points where the latter is visible.

For those who don't want to take the path through the tunnel, there is a great hiking trail here with an indescribable view of the glacier and the small lakes.

Gletscherstube Märjelen

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A mountain hut beautifully located on the Märjalen reservoir and a great place to stop for refreshments. From here, it is only about 15 to 20 minutes to the Aletsch Glacier. Nice service and really fair prices for the location, a great spot for a break.
