Just a short walk from Restaurant Botta, a wonderful view beginning with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau to the Matterhorn reveals itself. It is hard to get enough of this 360-degree panorama. Peak Walk By Tissot - There is only one suspension bridge in the world that connects two mountain peaks. And it invites you to an adventure that you will not easily forget. The Peak Walk by Tissot is the highlight of the glacier adventure: It connects the smaller peak (View Point) with the 5 meter higher main peak (Scex Rouge) and takes all guests to incredible heights. The 107 metre long and 80 centimetre wide bridge offers a stunning view onto the Alps: Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are visible from the bridge and offer grandiose views, far off into the distance. Ice Express Chairlift - Standing at Scex Rouge brings you as close to eternal ice as you will ever get: The glacier is just a chairlift ride away. And on the glacier there are many activities like the Glacier Walk, Snow Bus Tour, Fun Park and much more. In order to get there, you just need to take a seat on the Ice Express chairlift. Lean back, relax and enjoy the view - and get excited about your trip to the eternal ice. Schlitteln Fun Park - Fun in the snow is not only possible on boards - but also on plastic plates!

Even better is a romantic ride on a dogsled through the unique alpine area of Glacier 3000. The Huskies pull you through the beautiful glacier landscape and allow you to have a very special experience.
