Looking for a high-alpine adventure that’s breathtaking but accessible?
The Aletsch Glacier Panorama Trail is perfect for active hikers who want big mountain views without technical climbing. If you love panoramic trails, remote villages, and hiking at your own pace—this 3-day glacier trek is for you.
Here, you don’t just see the Alps—you walk beside their beating heart. The Aletsch Glacier, at 23 kilometers, is the largest glacier in the Alps. Towering ice, ancient forests, and the silence of altitude combine into something truly extraordinary. This is a chance to witness a vanishing wonder—before it’s gone.
Each day places you on a natural balcony, high above the world, with the glacier to one side and 4,000-meter peaks to the other.
The trail leads you through the Aletsch Forest, home to some of the oldest trees in Switzerland—gnarled, wind-sculpted Swiss stone pines that have stood for over 900 years. Surrounded by silence, glacier views, and the scent of alpine pine, the atmosphere is nothing short of magica
Add in panoramic ridge walks, shimmering glacial lakes, the surreal glow of the Tälligrat tunnel, and the thrill of crossing a 160-meter suspension bridge—and you have a journey that’s rich in drama and beauty from start to finish.ht.
We take care of all the details so you can focus on enjoying your adventure. We book the accommodations and provide a detailed itinerary booklet, GPS routes, and 24/7 support. Our goal is to make your hike as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
This is more than a hike—it’s a rare chance to walk beside a frozen giant, through a landscape shaped by time.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)


Daja Gorišek was the travel agent from here who meticulously organised the trek all the way from Meiringen to Lenk im Simmental. She took care of all the details -- from planning the actual trek route, the detailed GPS map for each stage, to the hotels. The actual experience was entirely consistent with what was promised.


Our 3 day hike had to be rearranged 2/2 weather, so a one day hike was arranged for us. We appreciated the concern about weather and conditions. Our hike was with Matevz, who was a great guide. Very helpful and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend and will be back for a longer hike one day!
