AN UNFORGETTABLE NATURE EXPERIENCE
The Massa Gorge – a unique natural wonder of polished white marble, shaped by the Great Aletsch Glacier and the power of water – offers exciting adventures for young and old alike.
Massaweg
The historic Massaweg trail follows the Riederi irrigation channel, which was built in the 14th century. On narrow paths carved into the rock, you hike high above the gorge and enjoy spectacular views. This hike is impressive, but only recommended for sure-footed people with a head for heights.
Canyoning
You can experience the gorge even more closely with canyoning. Equipped with a wetsuit, helmet and climbing harness, you follow the wild stream bed of the Massa, jump into deep pools, climb over rocks and abseil down over 30 metres. An adventure full of adrenaline and unforgettable moments.
Belalp–Riederalp suspension bridge
Since 2008, a 124-metre-long and 80-metre-high suspension bridge has connected Belalp with Riederalp. Crossing it requires strong nerves – but you will be rewarded with a unique view of the gorge and up to the glacier snout of the Great Aletsch Glacier. A highlight for anyone who wants to combine thrills with spectacular views.
Climbing area
Climbing enthusiasts will also get their money's worth: children and adults alike can learn the basics of climbing under the guidance of experienced mountain guides and put them into practice straight away in the Massa Gorge. The highlight is a spectacular abseil down into the depths – an experience that perfectly combines courage and fun.
