Visitor Reviews of Bettmeralp - Aletsch

I went to Bettmeralp in April last year(2005). It was a fantastic resort, real local feel and I liked the fact it was a car free village. The village itself has a lot of charm being 2000m above the valley of Brig. If it's not snowing you get an amazing view of the valley below and esp at night with all the lights and stuff.
The skiing is limited for advance skiers like myself but the lifts are fast and there are a few off-piste opps. The ski runs are best suited for intermediates with there being lots of reds.
The snow is always good being so high up, and even now (late May) when I check the webcams there's still plenty on the slopes.
The bars and restaraunts are great and have a local feel to them, and overall it's a great place for a weekend visit because of the ease of getting there!
I will be returning sometime after my season in Cardrona(NZ)and Whistler(Canada)in the coming Summer and Winter ski seasons.
