It took about 20 minutes via the aerial ropeway from the bottom of valley(1049m) to Fiescheralp station(2212m) which was on the plateau. I headed to Eggishorn station via Fiescheralp.
For your information, the aerial ropeway between Fiescheralp and Eggishorn runs every 20 minutes and it's always very busy, so if you miss it you must wait at least 20 minutes for tne next service. Be careful not to waste time like me....

I arrived at Eggishorn station.
When you step out of the station, the glacier is right there before your eyes! It's the Aletsch Glacier and it's one part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.

You can enjoy a nice view from the viewing platform at front of the station, however, in fact, there is a second viewing platform. The place marked with a red arrow in the photo is an actual summit of the Eggishorn and people say that there is a wonderful panoramic view of the Aletsch Glacier. Of course, I wanted to see it from the summit as well.

What a mess!!
The pathway to the summit was covered with snow and it looked as if it was going to be troublesome....

I kept walking toward the summit along a mountain ridge path...but the summit was still a long way off....

The narrow path facing the glacier was getting rough and steep. If you misjudge your footing even slightly, you'll surely tumble down the mountainside to the glacier.

Finally I reached the actual top!
Although this is the actual top of the summit, there is nothing but a big cross and it's very rocky, so people can't even stand straight because of bad footing.

There are no flat areas to stand on, however there is a spectacular panoramic view of the glacier.
The Aletsch Glacier has a length of about 23km which makes it the largest glacier in the Alps. Now I'm around the lower area of the Aletsch Glacier.
From the top, you can see the giant glacier, which has flowed down a long way, turn around the corner right in front of your eyes. In this photo Jungfrau, Monch and Aletschhorn look very far off in the distance. Three small glaciers which flow from those mountains come together on the valley and compose the mega glacier which is called Aletsch Glacier. It seems that black bands on the surface of the Aletsch Glacier can be seen when several glaciers become one.

The end of the glacier in Riederalp can be seen on the left side of this photo and that area is probably also near where my hotel is located.

After enjoying the view from the summit, I returned to the aerial ropeway station. As you can see, there is a long and rugged ridge path from the summit! I almost regretted coming all this way when I saw it.... The sign for hikers says, "It takes about 15-minutes one way and 30-minutes for a roundd trip." Of course it is absolutely impossible to travel within that time for amateur hikers like me!

It's amazing that you can take a picture as beautiful as this from the area around the gondola boarding station. So, it's up to you whether it's worth the treacherous journey to visit the summit or not!
