Contact & Arrival
Here you find us
The Aktiv- und Genusshotel Alpenblick is located in the middle of the small mountain village of Fieschertal. The hotel is 2 km away from the new public transport HUB Fiesch. The public transport HUB Fiesch is where the Matterhorn Gotthardbahn, Glacier Express, the buses of the Post Auto Oberwallis Gesellschaft and the Aletsch Arena Bergbahnen come together. Fiesch is located between the tourist regions of Aletscharena and Goms, a good 30-minute drive between Oberwald in the east and Brig in the west. In summer you can reach us from all directions via the Grimsel, Furka, Nufenen or Simplon passes or via the Rohnetal. Even the journey to us is breathtaking.
