Märjelensee

Highlight • Lake

The Märjelensee is a calm mountain lake. Originally it was dammed by the glacier and the tunnel served as an overflow. In the meantime, the glacier has melted so much that it is hard to imagine and the lake is being dammed by moraines.

In the Bättmerhitta, it is easy to linger in the rustic mountain hut ambiance and thoroughly enjoy the fine Valais specialties. Word has it that many guests undertake the Fiescheralp-Bettmeralp hiking trail specifically for the unique, impressively sized Crèmeschnitte – the Bättmerhitta is located directly on the route. The opening hours of the Bättmerhitta are weather-dependent. In case of bad weather, we therefore recommend contacting the restaurant beforehand.

This lake supplies the three mountain villages with drinking water. This shows even more that we need to take care of our nature.

A good place to rest in winter, too, on the Fiescheralp-Bettmeralp winter hiking trail.
