One of the contest sponsors of GetYourGuide’s Tour de Suisse is Bettmeralp. Many people have asked us about where Bettmeralp is located and what you can do there, which is why we decided to release a special Blog post on this great place. Bettmeralp is located in Valais and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn.

The sun-spoiled village of Bettmeralp is situated at 2,000 meters (6,561 ft) above sea level and is a perfect holiday destination, as you can combine nature and sports. Whether you take varied hiking tours in summer or enjoy unforgettable skiing days in winter, Bettmeralp, the family-friendly and car-free village, provides the perfect framework for carefree and relaxing days far away from routine and the hectic pace of the world.

A very special point to Bettmeralp is that families are really a core element of the philosophy. Bettmeralp aims to provide a vacation according to the needs of kids and their parents or accompanying persons. Welcoming families is at the heart of what they do and is not just a marketing gag. It is also supported by the undersigned tourism service providers and by local residents. In line with the needs of the families at their vacation destination, Bettmeralp recognizes the quality criteria that are required by each resort, and which are checked periodically by independent experts. They guarantee to stick to the quality criteria and constantly endeavor to improve family offers and incorporate new ideas.

It is summertime and once again thousands of hikers, climbers, rafting enthusiasts, canyoning fanatics and many other head towards Europe’s most famous mountains. Although many travelers have heard about the great opportunities that the Alps offer, most of them do not know the “how-to”. At GetYourGuide we try to help as many travelers as possible to make the most out of their Alpine experience.

In particular we work with professional partners in the field. A good example of a Guide company that offers a wide variety of high quality tours is Hydroalpin. The German school based in Lenggries is lead by Franz Perchtold, who is an experienced mountain guide himself and member of the Verband Deutscher Ski- und Bergführer (German Association of Ski and Mountain Guides). His tours range from Hiking and Climbing to Canyoning Tours. Over the next months we plan to put a lot of attention and weight on Alpinism and will support Guides with corresponding offers.
