Belalp is an alp and a resort located on a terrace on the south flank of the Unterbächhorn and Sparrhorn. The Tyndall Trail begins at the mountain station of the Belalp railway and initially leads you over a well-prepared path to the Aletschbord. Since 1858, the historic Hotel Belalp has stood there, which was the home of mountain pioneer John Tyndall for 44 summers. The Irishman was a passionate mountaineer and natural scientist who dealt intensively with glacier movements and climate change. In his honor, the 2015 renovated Belalp Hotel still has the historic Tyndall room with original 19th-century interior. On the snowshoe tour, you can enjoy a refreshment in the hotel restaurant and at the same time enjoy the enchanting view of the Great Aletsch Glacier and the surrounding four-thousanders. Afterwards, you set off for Hohbiel, the most challenging part of the trail. However, the view of 17 four-thousanders compensates for the effort. Along the way, you pass the Tyndall monument, which his widow had erected eight years after his death in 1911.
On the eight-kilometer-long Tyndall Trail, which is rated as moderate, you overcome an elevation difference of 580 meters. The starting point of the approximately three-hour snowshoe hike is the mountain station of the Belalp gondola. Then continue on the connecting path towards Aletschbord. Afterwards, you climb on a slightly more demanding path up to the Hohbiel with its reservoir lake. The return route follows the same path.
