Cube Aletsch is a unique overnight stay at ~2,647 meters above sea level in the UNESCO Jungfrau-Aletsch region. It’s a minimalist container-style retreat for two, located just below the Bettmerhorn mountain station, with a large glass front offering dramatic views over the glacier and surrounding peaks. Apart from a comfortable bed, it includes a bathroom, fridge, hot tub terrace, and meals prepared by Restaurant Bettmerhorn.

Who it’s recommended for
Romantic getaways, photographers, or anyone wanting a memorable night under the stars with glacier views.

Best Season to Visit

From Bettmeralp, either walk about 1 km with light ascent to the Bettmerhorn gondola station or take the free Aletsch Express shuttle (with booking confirmation). Take the cable car to Bettmerhorn.

Tips & Recommendations

• Book well in advance: Cube Aletsch sells out early.

• Cable car operating times are limited (usually until mid-afternoon) so plan your arrival accordingly.

• Dress warmly — at that altitude nights can get chilly even in summer.

• Bring a camera and prepare for both sunset and star shots — the glass frontage and minimal light pollution make it ideal for astrophotography.
