| Bettmerhorn Cable Car | |  |
| It is here, just below the Bettmersee, that we take the gondola lift to the Bettmerhorn, which takes us up to an altitude of 2647m to see exceptional panoramic views of the Aletsch glacier. To go up to Bettmersee lake, follow the path that climbs behind you. |
| Bettmersee (1) | | |
| Here we are at the lakeside, at the spot where flows the Bettmerbach, a small brook going down to the Rhone river near Betten Talstation (cable car downhill station) 1080m below. |
| Bettmersee (2) | | |
| Bettmersee is an ideal place for leisurely strolls along the trail around the lake (from mid-June to mid-October, approx. 1km). The trail is suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. |
| Bettmersee (3) | | |
| Above the eastern shore of the lake stands in the distance the summit of the Bettmerhorn, overlooking the Aletsch glacier. A spectacle not to be missed! |
| Bettmerstafel (8) | | |
| The climb continues, always on a gentle slope. We are about half way up... |
| Bettmerstafel (9) | | |
| Along the way you will see chalets decorated with great taste and originality. Keep your eyes open! |
| Donnerstafel (1) | | |
| When the path splits into two parallel paths, continue climbing on the left path. |
| Donnerstafel (2) | | |
| We are almost at the start of the gondola lift to the Bettmerhorn, which is just above the rock face on the left side of the path. |
| Donnerstafel (3) | | |
| The path will now make a loop, still gently sloping, but if you prefer to take a steeper shortcut, take the path that goes to left a little further. |
| Donnerstafel (4) | | |
| Continue straight ahead on the gently sloping path, or take the shortcut you see on the right as you look back (you can see the start of the Bettmerhorn cable car at the end of this shortcut). |
| Donnerstafel (5) | | |
| Here we are in the bend of the path, keep going up to the Bettmerhorn cable car and the Bettmersee lake. |
| Donnerstafel (6) | | |
| We pass just below the Bettmerhorn gondola lift. The entrance is on the side of the building. |
| Path to Bettmersee (1) | | |
| The lake is just a little higher up, behind the three banners you can see in the distance on the left side of the panorama. |
| Path to Bettmersee (2) | | |
| Go straight ahead and then turn left, or take the stairs you see here on the left, and you will arrive at the lakeside. |
| Small square | | |
| Would you like to take a short break before continuing the climb? Some benches are waiting for you on this small square! |
| Stairway to Bettmersee | | |
| Here we are in the middle of the stairs climbing up to lake Bettmersee. Our panorama is oriented to the east to let you enjoy the landscape. |
