Winter hike Fiescheralp - Riederalp

  • start: Fiescheralp, top station of aerial cable car
  • destination: Riederalp West

The hike starts at the mountain station of the Fiesch – Fiescheralp cable car, from where you set off in a westerly direction. After passing the snow-covered Alps and the slopes of Martisbergeralp and Laxeralp, follow the Herrenweg trail until you reach the Bättmer-Hitta restaurant. The route then climbs slightly towards Wurzenbord, where a magnificent view of the mountains awaits you. After this, the trail takes you back downhill, past the Berghaus Möriken hostel to Hotel Aletsch. Now follow Dorfstrasse through Bettmeralp westwards as far as the mountain station of the Bettmeralp cable car, passing the Maria zum Schnee chapel and typical Valais chalets on the way. Continue on the Aletsch Promenade in the direction of Riederalp West. There are hardly any more vertical metres to overcome on this section of the route. Numerous benches invite you to rest a while, enjoy the view and recharge your batteries.

The tour comprises a number of separate sections. Please check the winter sports report for the status (open/closed).
