BELALP WITCHES' DESCENT
=======================

- party
- Winter sports

Seien auch Sie dabei, und lassen Sie sich von der mystischen Stimmung auf der Belalp verzaubern!

It's high time again when the witches meet on the Belalp for the 45th Belalp Hexe.

 For one week in January, everything at the Blatten-Belalp ski resort revolves around witches. The Belalp Witch Festival is a week-long event that reaches its undisputed highlight on Saturday with the Belalp Witches’ Downhill Race. In the lead-up to the big Witches’ Downhill, however, various other races are held throughout the week, and spectators are also treated to a comprehensive supporting program featuring the Witches’ Nights and the Witches’ Children’s Festival.

The Belalp Witch traces its origins to an old Valais legend. According to the legend, a witch once wreaked havoc here. In memory of those days, the Belalp Witches’ Downhill was launched more than 45 years ago.

Join us and let yourself be enchanted by the mystical atmosphere on Belalp!
