About Fiesch
Fiesch is a village in the Aletsch Arena, first mentioned in 1203, with a pedestrianised, traditional centre. Its transport hub stacks the buses on the lower level and the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn in the middle, with the cable car to Fiescheralp up above. From Fiescheralp a second cable car goes to the Eggishorn, almost 3,000 metres up, where you can see almost the full length of the Aletsch Glacier. Summer options include a via ferrata on the Eggishorn, a bouldering hall, a rope park and paragliding. Our homes are spread around the village, mostly small, a few with a sauna and some with a garden. After dark, it is a small village.
