About Bellwald
Bellwald is the highest village in the Goms, with scattered settlements between the Rhône and Fiescher valleys and many sunny days a year, with around 350 residents. The village centre is car-free, and the older houses and barns are tanned wood. The Seven Joys of Mary Baroque church stands at the edge of the historic village. Chairlifts reach about 2,550 metres, and the Richenen chairlift takes walkers to the start of a 2 hour 15 minute loop with a view of the Fiescher Glacier. Our homes are bunched within about half a kilometre, mostly for around five, with three bedrooms and a garden at half of them. There is a bike park and flowtrails in summer, and Snowli's Hasenland children's snow area in winter.
