The best time to visit Gletsch is during the summer months, particularly from June to September, when the weather is at its most pleasant and all attractions are accessible.During this period, the famed Furka Pass and Grimsel Pass are fully open, offering breathtaking scenic drives and access to hiking trails. The Rhone Glacier, a key natural wonder in the area, is also at its most accessible, allowing visitors to explore the ice grotto. Couples looking for a romantic getaway with stunning alpine views and outdoor activities will find this time ideal.For those interested in the historic steam railway, the Dampfbahn Furka Bergstrecke operates its full schedule during these summer months. This provides a unique and nostalgic way to experience the high mountain landscape. Families with children will particularly enjoy the adventure of a steam train ride through the mountains.Outside of these months, Gletsch becomes very quiet, with many facilities closing down and mountain passes becoming impassable due to snow.
