From the mountain station of the Riederalp cable car mid-station, walk east to the valley station of the Moosfluh glacier cable car. Take the cable car up to the mid-station Blausee where you collect your mountain cart. This fun sport device is a combination of go-kart and sled. With its three wide wheels, low seating position, and hydraulic brakes, it is very safe. The mountain cart route leads along a natural road from Blausee to the valley station of the Moosfluh glacier cable car. On the roughly 2.8 km long downhill ride, you pass the Chüestall restaurant and Gopplerlücke.
