A treat for fit bikers: circular route on the sunny slope, past idyllic Valais hamlets, with short trail sections and a 600 meter ascent.
By the way: This bike route is e-MTB compatible. Note, however, that the indicated duration is reduced.
Author’s recommendation
On the ascent back to Riederalp, you have to overcome about 600 meters in altitude. Those who want to avoid this ascent can take the cable car from Ried-Mörel for the return journey to the Aletsch plateau.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
