Bettmeralp, Aletsch Arena, Valais

A few snaps from a ski area I've not been before. I've skied the top of the Aletsch Glacier a few times from the Jungfraujoch but we've turned off to climb other peaks. The Aletsch glacier is the largest in Europe at 23km in length and 120 square km, the glacier itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

It was actually a pretty nice day in Zinal when we left, so it's a credit to our grit, determination and planning we were able to locate an isolated pocket of poor weather and clouds.



Looking back homewards you get a good view of the Matterhorn.



It's a pretty good ski area and quite extensive really, a fair amount of it was open today as well and they were doing a 20.-chf ticket deal which is what had drawn us there.
