Bouldering hall

In addition to its indoor pool, fitness centre and dance hall, the Fiesch Sport Resort now also has a bouldering area. The former double squash hall has 40 different climbing routes, which are categorised according to levels of difficulty from one for beginners to six for master boulderers. The aim is to conquer these at jump height along the specified colour or number of holds without a rope or harness. Great fun for all climbing enthusiasts aged ten and over.

On the trail of the «Gogwärgini» dwarves

According to legend, Upper Valais was once home to hard-working dwarfs known as Gogwärgini. Today, visitors can discover their story along the Gogwärgi theme trail. The treasure hunt along the trail starts at the tourist office in Fiesch, where you can pick up a treasure map to guide you. Hand-carved wooden dwarves mark the eight stations along the 5.3-kilometre route, which leads through the village and up to the playground in Fieschertal. The walk back to Fiesch follows the Wysswasser river, whose source is the Fiesch Glacier.

Tobogganing fun Fiescheralp-Lax

A great sledging adventure, between the magical snowy forests and the breathtaking mountains: 11 kilometres of pure fun overlooking the Matterhorn. All the fun of sledging over 11 kilometres: Fiescheralp (2,222 metres above sea level) is easily accessible by cable car. It is a car-free village which is situated close to the Aletsch Glacier, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once you’re up there, you’ll enjoy an extraordinary panorama and a view of the Matterhorn before through the snowy forests. You’ll get the chance to make your descent on a Ghosky sledge – typical of the Valais region – which you steer by simply transferring your weight. The perfectly prepared sledge run is extremely safe and runs through a magnificent forest. Arriving in Lax, you simply board the shuttle-bus that will take you back to Fiesch, where you can take the cable car to Fiescheralp. Back at the top, take time to relax and enjoy not only the view but also enjoy a fondue or a raclette with friends.

«Santigläistrichijer» in Fiesch

Every year on 5 December, the traditional custom of «Trichije» (cowbell ringing) and «Nachttrichije» (night-time cowbell ringing) is held in Fiesch. Cowbells and Schnitzelbank poems with a difference! The younger ringers get underway at 1:00 pm. Once it begins to get dark, it is the turn of the grown-ups. Under no circumstances should you miss the parade beginning at 9:00 pm in the Fiesch village square. All the night ringers gather here with St. Nicholas and «Schmutzli», together with the residents of Fiesch and any visitors, in order to hear the praise of St. Nicholas and comments on the performance. Throughout the evening, the night ringers go from pub to pub, consuming Glühwein, nuts and tangerines.

Wysswasser-Trail

From Fiesch, the wonderfully peaceful route leads towards the Fieschertal. Having reached the banks of the Wysswasser glacier stream, you find yourself in the midst of a fertile, lush natural world. The green valley, framed by the magnificent Valais mountains, is reminiscent of an idyllic Swiss postcard. The view is dominated by the imposing Eggishorn, which is particularly popular with paragliders. This is an easy path with many tranquil spots along the way to rest and relax. The flower-dappled meadows and extensive fields appear unending, seeming to merge with the mountain slopes on the horizon. In Fieschertal you can round off this wonderful excursion with some fine refreshment.
