From the top of the Eggishorn you can have a truly breathtaking view of the Aletsch glacier (one of the central pieces of the Jungrau Aletsch UNESCO site) in its full length. This is also a good starting points for hikes to and around the heritage site area.

This youth hostel is in the "Sport Ferien Resort Fiesch" complex on the outskirts of the village. The centre is rather lacking in charm, but the low price, good location and free access to the facilities make up for it.
The station hotel has some very nice, reasonably priced, rooms. The trains don't run at night, so you should get a good night's sleep. The rooms at the back have a beautiful view over the village, and the ones at the front a nice view of the little red trains. Probably best to avoid a Friday night, when the local youths congregate noisily in the streets half the night - and you won't get any sleep.
The best way to get there is probably by train - Fiesch is on the railway from Brig to Andermatt.
Read in the guideThere is a cable car (Luftseilbahn) from Fiesch up to Kuhboden, which is perched on the mountain above the village. There are fantastic walks from here.
