This is something new at Aletsch and yet so old: wooden marble runs. Already used by the Romans and also played in a modified form in the Middle Ages, this type of game has survived to this day. I myself had a game of skill where you had to guide a ball through a wooden maze with holes in it by turning knobs. The game is still around today and encourages logical and strategic thinking. Not just for children...

A game that makes children's hearts beat faster

For two francs, you can buy a wooden ball from the machine and at the same time have a nice souvenir of an eventful holiday. The wooden ball passes through various obstacles, which helps children to familiarise themselves with physical principles and learn about speed and the effect of forces in a playful way. Picking up and putting down the wooden ball promotes concentration, motor skills and coordination in children. Not to mention the fun.

Enjoy the panorama with a good meal

While your children play, you can enjoy the mountain panorama or the view of the Aletsch Glacier with a good meal, as there is a restaurant in the immediate vicinity. The wooden marble runs are located on the Riederfurka, at the Bettmerhitta, on the Bettmerhorn and on the Moosfluh.

There is currently a hiking package for the golden autumn. The offer is valid up to and including 13 October 2024.
