We don't ski, and there might be better mountains for skiing, but this town was quintessential Swiss. Getting there was incredibly easy and Bettmeralp was absolutely darling. The views of the Alps are something we will never forget. Great mix of people, nice selection of restaurants, super winter walk over to Riederalp ... really enjoyed the town and our stay.

You can easily spend a few days, as this town offers hikin trails, and bike trails around the valleys. I was sorry to leave so quick. However, I visited top of the mountain to see the glacier, it is totally worth it and amazing.

Bettmeralp was a fun place to visit for skiing. Exceptional scenery. Food was a good standard although a bit pricey, similar to everywhere else in Switzerland. There are two good supermarkets in Bettmeralp if you want to cook in your apartment. Good experiences with equipment hire and ski lessons. Some places only spoke German so you'll want some German ability or rely on translator apps (which is what we did).

Not sure what to expect Bettmeralp was a charming village, with plenty of now even in late March. The scenery was spectacular, the hiking and skiing areas excellent. The local restaurants produced delicious food and the staff were helpful and efficient. A great place for families, couples or singles. Well worth the trip!

Riederalp, Bettmeralp and Fiescheralp are a combined ski resort: the Aletsch Arena. Mostly downhill skiing with mostly biginner (blue) to intermediate (red) pistes. Some short blacks. In Fiescheralp sector, theEggishorn cable car (great views of the Aletsch Glacier from the top) was open in dec 2021 but a landslide had damaged the black downhill piste. Good point of view of the Glacier behind the Bettmerhorn summit restaurant. Food is a real problem in the whole resort. If you don't self-cater, you might end up without any dinner because you didn't book a table in the morning or even the day before. And if you aren't the die-hard 2 times a day meat eater, and worse if you fancy being a vegetarian, you will have trouble finding food at all. If you ever find some vegetarian plates in some restaurants (rare and very dull), the experience will be made worse by the stink of hot stone grilled meat at the neighboring table. However if you like eating meat as if there was no tomorrow, this is the place.

A well integrated set of three villages, mainly intermediate skiing with a couple of black runs. Two or three panoramic pistes which are very spectacular scenically but one has a bit of poling. You should do it once for the views though. Saturday saw a lot of day skiers from the locality but the rest of the week was uncrowded except for the odd queue of a minute or two, but most lifts are 4 or 6-man detachable chairlifts that have high capacity. Eggishorn cable car has a small capacity but was never crowded as there is only a black piste from the top. Bettmerhorn has a telecabine but more runs from the top, which are Red except for the tunnel which leads to a black mogulfield (but it's possible to walk back if you don't fancy it) It's definitely black when unpisted! In the village there's a sport centre with pool and ice rink, and the church has concerts most Wednesdays.
