Glacier 3000

A dreamlike winter paradise awaits you on the Glacier 3000 from November to May. From November to May, a magical snowy landscape stretches out with views of over two dozen majestic four-thousand-metre peaks, including Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. Perfectly groomed pistes and cross-country ski trails and a magnificent glacier landscape for winter hiking and ski tours are waiting to be discovered. The Peak Walk by Tissot, a floating bridge that connects two peaks, is a real highlight and not to be missed.

Lauenen

The small & family-friendly ski area of Lauenen with its three clearly laid out pistes is the perfect place to experience carefree skiing fun with children. What makes it special: Each piste leads directly to the valley station, so you can leave your children to ski on their own without having to worry.
