Belalp-Riederalp suspension bridge
Since 2008, a 124 metre long and 80 metre high suspension bridge has spanned the Massa Gorge between Belalp and Riederalp. Strong nerves and a head for heights are required, but an impressive experience and a breathtaking view of the gorge and the glacier gate of the Great Aletsch Glacier are guaranteed.

Follow the Suone Riederi on the Massaweg
On the Massaweg, you hike along the imposing Massa Gorge. The hiking trail follows the course of the historic Suone Riederi. This was first mentioned in 1385 and carried the meltwater from the glacier to the fields near Ried-Mörel until the 1940s. The path carved into the rocks leads along the Massa Gorge at lofty heights. This adventurous hike is only recommended for people with a head for heights.

Canyoning in the Massa Gorge
Canyoning through the Massa Gorge is just the thing for the adventurous. Equipped with a wetsuit, helmet and climbing harness, the tour follows the bed of the Massa river. You scramble over boulders, jump around 8 metres into a crystal-clear pool of water and abseil over 30 metres into the so-called "cathedral". Pure adventure and not for the faint-hearted!
