| Good to Know | Die Bettmeralp - im UNESCO Welterbe - ist eine Alpe geblieben. Weit und breit kein Auto. Die nächsten Motorfahrzeuge stehen unten im Tal, drei Stunden Fussmarsch, oder zehn Minuten mit der Luftseilbahn von dem einmaligen Erholungsparadies entfernt. Darum ist die Luft so kristallklar und gesund und die Ruhe so erholsam. Der Blick geht weit auf Wanderschaft, hinab ins Rhonetal, hinauf zum Simplonpass und reicht bis weit hinüber zu den weltberühmtesten Viertausendern. |
