From the center of Riederalp, you initially hike east along the Aletsch promenade. At the level of the Hotel Walliser Spycher, change onto the winter hiking trail to Oberried. At first, the path leads you at the lower end of the sun plateau through open terrain in a westerly direction. Then you enter the enchanting snow-covered Riederwald. You walk calmly through it to Oberried. Once there, follow the road: Past the hamlets “Wyde”, “Matte” and “Summerseili”, you continue downhill to Ried-Mörel.
