SNOWSHOE TRAIL TYNDALL

open
  • start: Mountain station, Belalp
  • destination: Hohbiel, Belalp

The starting point of this snowshoe trail is the mountain station of the aerial cableway. Initially, follow the path uphill to Bruchegg. Attention: winter sports enthusiasts come down here.

Continue along the marked route to the Tyndall Monument. The monument is dedicated to the Irish physicist John Tyndall (1820-1893) and was erected at the request of his wife Louisa Charlotte.

It is worth admiring the panorama of the Valais mountain world from here and enjoying the Great Aletsch Glacier. From here, you can also see the historic Hotel Belalp. The mountain hotel opened in 1858 and primarily welcomed guests from England at that time.

The trail then continues with a rather challenging but safe ascent to Hohbiel. The descent follows the same route. Alternatively, you can take the Sparrhorn chairlift down.
