Bellwald

Bellwald is a picturesque mountain village in the canton of Valais, located at about 1600 m above sea level. It's the highest municipality in Goms and is known for its traditional Valais wooden houses and seven well-preserved chapels. Bellwald offers attractive year-round recreational opportunities, including a family-friendly ski area in winter (up to 2550 m above sea level) and diverse hiking trails in summer. The village is a popular destination for nature lovers and provides beautiful views of the surrounding Alps. Bellwald is connected to the valley village of Fürgangen by a cable car, making it easily accessible without a car. The Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn also stops in Fürgangen, which connects the area to Fiesch approximately every hour.
