    You start comfortably at Riederalp through the car-free mountain village. Then you shift gears: The Riederalp Enduro Trail plunges straight into the mountain forest – marked in red, natural and requiring good grip.

    The first section stretches steeply and windingly through rooty passages – exactly what enduro fans love. In the middle, you enter Goppisberg: historic village center, short stop possible (self-service restaurant with snacks).

    Then you cross the slope towards Greich, where a longer section on gravel roads awaits you – good for a break before it gets serious again on the Riederalp Enduro Trail.

    From Schwäristadel, it’s back fully on the trail: tight, technical, rocky – your riding skills count. After the Breite neighborhood, you roll relaxed on asphalt the last meters to Mörel – take the train, go up, next trail in the Aletsch Arena.

    Highlights:

    • 100% natural trail enjoyment in the mountain forest of the Aletsch Arena
    • Root carpets & stone lines in alternation
    • Refreshment spot in Goppisberg
    • Enduro trail with many meters of descent without artificial elements

    Trail signage: Follow the red signposts with the white biker symbol as well as the black sticker with the abbreviation RIT – this stands for the Riederalp Enduro Trail.

    Note: At the trail start and at changes between different difficulty levels, the corresponding difficulty level is marked each time.

    Important: Respect for hikers & nature in the Aletsch Arena – ride with attitude.

    Author’s recommendation

    Insider tips:
    • Good brakes & technique recommended – the trail is long and stretches out
    • Spring trail: one of the first to be rideable after the snow

    Message:

    You want natural lines? Then this is your trail. Direct, honest, demanding.
