Circular hiking trail Riederalp - Riederfurka - Riederhorn - Riederfurka - Riederalp

open
  • start: Riederalp, top station of the gondola Mitte
  • destination: Riederalp, top station of the gondola Mitte

From Riederalp Mitte you hike through Riederalp and up to Riederfurka. A short steep ascent of 165 meters and you are on the Riederhorn. Some sections of the trail are a little exposed. The Riederhorn offers breathtaking views of the Great Aletsch Glacier and many four-thousand-metre peaks of the Valais and Bernese Alps. Descend to the Casselweg trail and hike back to the Riederfurka and the Villa Cassel. At the beginning of the 20th century, the imposing Villa Cassel on the Riederfurka was the fashionable summer residence of the English banker and his exclusive guests from the aristocracy and high finance. The descent back to Riederalp Mitte is the last stage of this hike.
