During the summer months, the Infopoint Gletsch provides information about sights in the neighboring tourist regions and offers information about the village of Gletsch, the historic small power stations and the Furka mountain steam railroad.

The staff tries to answer all questions and suggestions and is very happy about every visit.

Protected townscape of national importance
Gletsch lies in the middle of a wild mountain landscape shaped by the power of water. Water power in the form of glacier ice, torrents, rain and snow have shaped nature.

Towards the end of the 19th century Gletsch became an important alpine junction with connections to Brig, Andermatt and Meiringen.

The Glacier Express made Gletsch station world famous between 1930 and 1981. Since the opening of the Furka base tunnel, railroad enthusiasts have campaigned incessantly to ensure that the tracks of the Furka mountain line are not demolished. In summer 2010, steam trains with restored rolling stock ran again from Realp to Oberwald for the first time. This means that the historic Glacier Express route is once again open to traffic throughout.

The canton of Valais, the municipality of Obergoms and the Furka Mountain Steam Railway are committed to Gletsch. The treasures hidden in and around Gletsch are made accessible to guests. Descriptions of the various attractions are available at the InfoPoint. Gletsch offers all visitors, from package tourists to individualists and families, a real experience in the grandiose world of the Central Alps.
