From Riederalp Mitte, walk east to the valley station of the combined Moosfluh glacier railway. The gondola takes you up in a few minutes to the Moosfluh viewpoint – a dreamy vantage point overlooking the Great Aletsch Glacier and at the same time the starting point of the sledding path. From there, you sled down via “Scheene Bodu” and Gopplerlücke to the Moosfluh valley station on Riederalp. Constant companion on the thrilling sled ride: the dream view of the Valais mountains. Note: Sleds can be rented at local sports shops.

You can check at any time from the status report whether the sledding run is open.
