Follow the path to Biel heading east. From there, you reach Hohbalm via a short climb. Along the north-facing slopes of Bettmerhorn and Eggishorn, you now hike to Märjelensee. The view of the Great Aletsch Glacier is your constant companion on this stage. The landscape shaped by eternal ice is also clearly visible here. Upon arrival at Märjelensee, the trail moves away from the glacier side: through the illuminated Tälligrattunnel (Obers Tälli) you reach the south side again, where you cross the sun plateau heading west: from Fiescheralp, hike over the Herrenweg, past Bettmersee, to Bettmeralp. Stay on the Herrenweg and now hike via Gopplerlücke to the mountain station of Riederalp West." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2824273/e71fe8b8c6ed0b0db7f746fd050b11e183d50eefd02201830d41c3c3bf9316f5/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Aletsch Arena > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Circular hike from Moosfluh via Märjelensee to Riederalp ======================================================== - Tip - 23.18 km long - Difficulty: difficult - Condition: very difficult - Great panorama - Hike - 6:15 h - 23.18 km - 1,167 m - 1,191 m - 1,881 m - 2,552 m - Difficulty: difficult - - Start: Moosfluh, mountain station cable car - Destination: Riederalp West Take the glacier railway up to the Moosfluh viewpoint, the starting point of the hike.
