Summer on Belalp
View of the Great Aletsch Glacier
Belalp shows a completely different side in summer — green meadows, crisp mountain air and a direct view of the Great Aletsch Glacier, the largest ice field in the Alps. At 2,150 metres, you'll enjoy plenty of sunshine at pleasantly mild temperatures — even in the height of summer, you can stay active outdoors without the heat. Chalet Mondschein sits right on the mountain ridge, with the Lüsgerensee lake just a few minutes' walk away — the perfect base for both relaxation and adventure.
Hiking with World Heritage views
Over 60 km of marked hiking trails start right from the mountain station — from gentle strolls to challenging mountain tours. The historic Massaweg along ancient irrigation channels, the idyllic Gredetschtal valley, or viewpoints with direct views of the Great Aletsch Glacier, the largest ice field in the Alps, are among the most beautiful destinations. For those who want more, the spectacular suspension bridge leads towards Riederalp, with panoramic views over the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage site. The neo-Gothic Lüsgen chapel is also a popular and easily accessible destination.
Biking & adventure for every taste
15 km of bike trails right within the UNESCO World Heritage site offer unforgettable fun for every skill level. For the adventurous: the roughly 7 km scooter-bike trail from Belalp to Blatten — past Alpe Bäll and through the mystical Täätschwald forest. For even more excitement, experience the Massaschlucht gorge — Switzerland's «Grand Canyon» — with canyoning and an 8-metre jump into a turquoise pool, soar over the Valais mountains by paraglider, or learn the basics of climbing under the guidance of a professional mountain guide.
Back to the chalet — and to Lüsgerensee lake
After an action-packed day, Chalet Mondschein offers peace, fresh mountain air and an unforgettable starry sky. Just a few minutes' walk away lies the Lüsgerensee lake — perfect for a refreshing swim or a relaxed evening stroll. Chalet Mondschein sits right on the mountain ridge, at 2,150 metres you'll enjoy plenty of sunshine at pleasantly mild temperatures — even in the height of summer, you can stay active outdoors without the heat. An entire chalet for the family, with space to retreat for everyone and a sense of freedom that stays with you.
