From Mörel, take the cable car first up to Riederalp. From the mountain station of the West or Middle cable car, roll with your mountain bike to the Moosfluh glacier cable car. Take this to the Moosfluh viewpoint and enjoy the glacier view before starting the tour. Along the ridge, ride on a flowing trail with short technical sections to the west, then turn right and slowly head back toward Riederalp. There, ride on the paved path to the rise before the Moosfluh glacier cable car. Turn right there and cycle past the St. Bernhard chapel. The road soon changes into a natural path. Follow this until you can turn left onto the Goppisberg singletrail. Upon reaching Goppisberg, switch to the next singletrail. Continue downhill along this up to Breiten and Mörel-Filet. On your descent, you will repeatedly cross the paved road or follow it for a short stretch.
