Abstract:
The Aletsch Forest is one of the oldest larch-Swiss stone pine forests in Switzerland. The forest, with an area of about 0.4 km2, is under protection since 1933 managed by an NGO named Pro Natura. The Aletsch Forest is located besides the ending of the longest glacier in the Alps, the Great Aletsch Glacier, the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage site Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch. A trail network of 18km crosses the protected area. In July 2008 a new connection with the neighbouring village Belalp was built.
