If you are planning a ski trip to Switzerland, consider the town of Fiesch in the canton of Valais in the Goms district. You may hear the town referred to as Fiesch-Fieschertal, since the neighboring municipality of Fiescheralp is managed by Fiesch as well. Fiesch has the distinction of having been named a UNESCO World Heritage site because of its incredible views across the Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn mountain range.
Skiing is the major attraction in Fiesch, with more than 30 ski lifts and over 100 kilometers of ski slopes. In fact, Fiesch, Fieschertal and a third town, Lax, all belong to the Eggishorn Tourism region, which draws skiers, hikers, and other winter sport enthusiasts from around the world. You can find your budget hotel in the region by searching right here at EasyToBook.com, and be sure to ask your concierge for directions to the mountaineer center. The guides will help you plan a trek through the mountains or to the Aletsch Glacier, and will guide you on a route that will keep you safe no matter what your skill level might be.
