1 day in the Jungfrau-Aletsch region: Mediterranean World

Programme suggestion to discover the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch" in one day.

10:00 - 15:00 Hike along the Lötschberg South Ramp in Ausserberg

A hike along the Lötschberg south ramp is a special experience at almost any time of year. The Mediterranean vegetation of the rocky steppe can be explored with the whole family on a varied hike from Ausserberg to Brig. The hiking route starts at Ausserberg railway station and winds its way via Ze Gadmu to Eggerberg. It continues via Warbflie to Mund, Birgisch and via Rossegga on to Naters. The route through the old village centre leads past the World Heritage Visitor Centre World Nature Forum to Brig railway station. The route runs through several communities with public transport connections and can be shortened as desired. The route is very suitable for families with children. Ausserberg, the starting point of the hike, is easily reached by train.

Good to know: The hiking trail is generally open all year round. In winter, some sections of the route may be closed. 

15:00 - 17:00 Exhibition visit World Nature Forum (WNF)

The WNF is the visitor centre of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch" and is considered the most modern museum in the Alps. Here the spirit of research is awakened in young and old with impressive films, interactive experience stations and the latest technology. The WNF deals with the processes surrounding the formation and change of the Alps as well as the climatic challenges and fascinates explorers of all ages. If you are still in the mood for more World Heritage after your hike, you can pay a visit to the Visitor Centre before heading home.
