The first section of the route leads you from Bettmeralp up to Bettmersee and along the west shore to the fork towards Gopplerlücke. Now follow the Herrenweg to the Berghaus Toni (Riederalp West). From there, continue climbing to Riederfurka, where a visit to the Pro Natura Center Aletsch in Villa Cassel is recommended. Well informed about the Aletsch Forest and the UNESCO World Heritage, you then start from Riederfurka for the hike (Moränenweg) through the protected Aletsch Forest. After about 30 minutes, the view opens up to the impressive Great Aletsch Glacier. Passing centuries-old larches, continue hiking towards Moosfluh and Biel. Here you switch to the side of the sun plateau and begin the last stage of the hike: The descent to Bettmersee and back to Bettmeralp.
Important: The Aletsch Forest has been under strict nature protection since 1933 – please adhere to the posted rules!
