From there, hike westwards. On the level path, you reach Bättmer Hitta via Laxeralp. From now on, it goes downhill: after a short walk you reach Bettmeralp and cross the village to the cable car mountain station at the western edge of the village. Along the way, you pass the chapel Maria zum Schnee and typical Valais chalets. From the edge of the village, you hike on the Aletsch Promenade towards Riederalp West. After leaving the beautiful mountain forest behind you, you enter open terrain: the impressive panoramic views of the Mischabel group, the Matterhorn, Weisshorn, down into the Rhone valley and to Riederalp West are now your constant companions. From Riederalp, take the cable car down to Mörel and the train back to Fiesch. Note: the section Bettmeralp – Riederalp is paved and illuminated at night. It can also be done well in the late evening." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2805971/81cbfa274d06e0422089ac4d8d2143ae20e5f143beb22bec49eefc5e766f9f2e/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Aletsch Arena > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Hike from Fiescheralp to Riederalp via "Herrenweg" and "Aletschpromenade" ========================================================================= - Tip - 7.91 km long - Difficulty: easy - Condition: very easy - Hike - 2:30 h - 7.91 km - 53 m - 343 m - 1,878 m - 2,218 m - Difficulty: easy - - Start: Fiescheralp, cable car mountain station - Destination: Riederalp, cable car west mountain station From Fiesch you take the cable car up to the Fiescheralp.
