- Destination: Blatten
From Riederalp, hike to Riederfurka, where you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the mountain and glacier world. Tip: If you use the mountain railway for this section, the route mostly goes downhill afterwards! Following the Knebelbrücke signpost, hike along a nicely laid-out path to the Rotbrüch fork and continue via Knebelbrücke to Oberried. Here, follow the Massaweg towards the Gibidum reservoir/Blatten. Cross the bridge below the impressive dam of the Gibidum reservoir. On the other side of the valley, you reach the mountain village of Blatten via a pleasant hiking trail. From there, take the post bus, train, and cable car via Brig and Mörel back to the Riederalp.
