Start at the Infocenter on Riederalp, from where you bike eastwards up to the height of the Moosfluh valley station. Here you change to the right-turning path, which leads in long serpentine bends past the hamlets Biel, Bina and Gstalji down to Golmenegg and onwards to Goppisberg. On the paved road, you now ride westwards to Greich. Once there, a somewhat more difficult section follows: via a challenging trail and two ditches you reach Ried-Mörel. For technically skilled bikers, these traverses pose no problem. Otherwise, we recommend pushing the bike when crossing the ditches. Continue on the paved road to Oberried. The last route stage then awaits you - an ascent of around 600 meters in altitude, which you have to overcome on the forest road back to Riederalp.
By the way: This bike route is e-MTB compatible. Note, however, that the indicated duration is reduced. You can calculate the exact time required on our route portal.
