Hello again

There are lots of possibilities for cable car rides around Brig, especially if you drive east from the town up the Rhone Valley, or west down the Rhone Valley.

I will list ones which I know will be running 20th to 24th. (Some cable cars close down in late October.)East of Brig

Morel to Riederalp West

Morel to Riederalp Mitte (You could go up on one Riederalp cable car, walk to the other cable car, and then down.)

Bettten to Bettmeralp (Another car-free village) (I am fairly sure you can hike from Riederalp to Bettmeralp.)

Fiesch to Eggishorn. (I can strongly recommend this one. I went up it in early April this year. Super view over the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in Switzerland.)

Fürgangen to Bellwald

West of Brig

Leukerbad to Gemmipass. Another trip I would strongly recommend. Leukerbad is another wonderful mountain resort. The cable car ride to Gemmipass is hair-raising!

Raron to Eischoll

Raron to Unterbäch

Turtmann to Oberems

Best wishes

Roger

Hi Anjan,

Please check out our Brig travel guide here: https://www.myswissalps.com/town/brig/

Personally I find Brig a good base for an excursion to see the Aletsch Glacier: https://www.myswissalps.com/activity/aletsch-glacier/
