Why this domain for winter 2027
One pass, one huge playground
Aletsch Arena links 2 resorts on a single lift pass: 104 km of piste and 35 lifts, enough that a week of the 2027 holidays never skis the same run twice.
Snow you can plan a holiday around
The domain climbs to 2870 m, so snow holds reliably right through the Christmas and February holiday weeks of winter 2027.
Choose your base
Base yourself in Bettmeralp and Riederalp: each opens onto the same linked terrain on one pass, so you pick the village that fits your group and still ski the whole domain.
Terrain for every level
Across the domain about 45% of the runs are green or blue, 37% red and 18% black, so beginners, intermediates and experts share the same lift pass without anyone running out of terrain.
When to go in 2027
Lifts typically turn from Nov 30 to Apr 21. The Christmas and February school-holiday weeks are the lively peaks; for the same snow with thinner crowds, mid-January and mid-March are the smart 2027 windows.
