Aletsch Glacier

Travelling and parking
If you are a car, you usually have to go through a hole. Here you will find information about Furka or Lötschberg.
In summer, when you can drive up the road up to Tschuggen, a free parking space is available, marked with the number 27 just below the chalet. Information for the winter about parking in Blatten can be found here.

Our chalet is used by various guests and everyone is happy when it is clean and works. And if something breaks - that can happen - then please let us know so that we can repair or replace it! Please send a message for this.
Please leave the chalet as you found it when you took over:

Unless otherwise agreed, the chalet must be left by 10 a.m. on the day of departure so that the cleaning team can start their work on time!
Baby bed and children's room
The hinged baby bed can be found in the children's room at the top of the wardrobe. There is also bed linen. In the children's room, in addition to the bunk bed, which is loved by children, also has many toys: Lego, Brio railway, highway, books...
Swimming and playing
If you want to cool off in the summer, the outdoor pool Brigerbad is recommended, about 15 minutes away from Brig in the direction of Visp. And if he wants to relax after the slopes in winter, he does it best in the Brigerbad, simply in the thermal bath inside.
And for children who want a rest of hiking on hot summer days, the Plantschteich down in Blatten is just right. You will find it right at the end of the parking lot, together with mini golf, climbing park, petting zoo...
Electric car
Right down in Blatten there are two charging stations at the parking garage opposite the valley station and a charging parking lot at the Reka.
Shop
Down in Blatten there is the Comisso Lädeli. It offers everything it needs. Also fondue and fresh bread in winter and a cool white in summer. And he also has almost always open (information on this in the info corner in the kitchen). If you prefer to make a larger purchase, we recommend the Lidl in Brig-Glis. In winter, a small shop is operated on the Belalp at the Tyndallhütte, where you can take a small shopping with you right on your last descent.
Firewood
You can use the basket next to the fireplace to get wood if you want to light a fire. The cage with firewood is outside to the right of the house. You will find the keys in the kitchen, on the wall to the right of the fuse box.
We have to buy and haul the wood, so we charge it separately. Please let us know how many baskets of firewood you have taken. Here we count on your honesty and your decency.

Skis, snowboards and sleds
The Belalp is one of the few ski resorts in Switzerland that has been able to maintain its family character, although it extends up to over 3100m above sea sea peak into the Alpine peaks. It has many good restaurants in the ski area or you drive to the chalet for a break. Tschuggen is located directly on the valley run, from the top to the bottom it is about 12km. With the sled it is about 8km from the Belalp to Blatten.
Recommended is a dinner in a restaurant on the Belalp and then a moon descent with the sleigh directly to the chalet. But don't forget flashlight!
Suonen hikes
A unique Valais specialty are the hikes along ancient irrigation canals, sometimes in almost incredible places. One of them is "in front of the front door" and leads from Belalp to Nessel. You start right at the chalet on foot or by train to the Belalp, go in the direction of Foggenhorn to the mountain slope, along the Suone to Nessel and from there the lower path back again.
Taxi
If you missed the last train or need a taxi, then try Jossen Taxi: +41 79 321 98 25
Terrace
In the shed next to the chalet you will find a lot for the terrace and the key to it, in the kitchen on the wall to the right of the fuse box. And please put things away properly again. Thank you!
Tschuggen
Here is an overview of your holiday resort.
Right on the street above the Chalet Sonnenröschen (No. 27, yellow marked) is the garbage disposal and there would also be visitor parking spaces.
The car parking space and access to the chalet are from the lower street.
TV
The era of satellite TV is definitely over. Also in the Chalet Sonnenröschen you can watch Internet TV. A Teleboy account is set up for you. Of course, you can also use your own apps or accounts or stream directly via Apple device.
Entertainment
In the living area there is a radio with an iPhone adaptor and there are board games and books. And because of course there is always a lot of chatting in the Valais mountains, the equipment for it is installed right by the dining table... that gives the best fondue evenings!
Laundry & Co.
Bed linen, terry towels and kitchen towels are ready for you. Please take off the bed linen on departure and deposit everything for the cleaning crew in the kitchen.
The sunflower does not have a washing machine. If washing is urgently needed, we recommend hand washing or textile cleaning in Visp. For stays of less than 15 days, it is possible to request replacement linen at an additional cost. Please contact us early if this is desired.
