September 28, 2025,🇨🇭Riederalp, Aletschgletscher🇨🇭

From Riederalp, in glorious weather but still with plenty of snow, I made a steep climb to Rieder Furka. I continued along the ridge path up to Hohfluh, where I enjoyed a fantastic view of the Matterhorn and the Aletsch Glacier, amidst a deep snow-covered landscape. I continued along the panoramic path toward the Aletsch Glacier to Moosfluh. Then I …

A superb hike to see the largest glacier in the Alps, as well as the Aletsch Forest.

Then take the cable car to Riederalp.
Finally, a short walk to the …

Unfortunately, it was a week or two too late for the larches - most of the needles were already on the ground. Nevertheless, it was a spectacularly beautiful hike with a magnificent view of the Aletsch glacier. And since it was so late in the hiking season, it was almost deserted. ☺️

From Leuk Stadt you can drive to the Bettmeralp ski area in an hour. In the Aletsch Arena, where you have 72 km of winter hiking trails. The routes on komoot are for seasons without snow so I used the piste map at the lifts. You also know immediately whether paths are open or closed due to too much snow.
