By buying a typical souvenir, you will bring a piece of Fiesch home with you. 

  • Swiss-Army Knives
    You can find Victorinox knives at the Burgener shop in Fiesch.
    These are very symbolic of Swiss craftsmanship and very handy. 
  • Souvenirs with the Swiss Cross
    Burgener’s shop offers various souvenirs decorated with the Swiss cross — mugs, water bottles, etc.
    Great as small, iconic reminders of Switzerland. 
  • Traditional Woodcrafts & Scherenschnitt
    The same shop sells Scherenschnitt (paper-cut silhouettes) and other wood-carved souvenirs.
    These reflect more traditional, regional handicrafts from Valais. 
  • Alpine Wooden Figurines / Toys
    According to guides to shopping in Fiesch, there are carved wood items, traditional toys, and local artisan crafts.
    These make for charming keepsakes. 
  • Herbal / Alpine Cosmetics
    In Switzerland more broadly (and likely found in mountain village souvenir shops), you can find soaps, balms, and herbal products made from local alpine plants.
    Natural, small, and often beautifully packaged. 
  • Mini Cowbells
    Cowbells are a classic Alpine symbol. You can find small decorative ones in souvenir shops.
    They’re very Swiss, very decorative. 
  • Swiss Chocolates
    Of course, chocolate is a must. Local stores and even supermarkets in Fiesch (like Migros) will have a variety.
    Easy to pack (especially vacuum-packed) and always popular. 
  • Local-Themed Cups / Bottles
    Burgener’s shop has Aletsch-Arena themed tasses (mugs) and bottles, so you can take a part of Fiesch home. (burgenershopkiosk.ch) 
  • Event / Culture-Inspired Crafts
    During the Brauchtumswoche (tradition/customs week) in Fiesch, there are often traditional crafts on show (wood carving, folk art) that sometimes become available for purchase.
    Good opportunity to pick up something uniquely tied to the region’s heritage.
