From Mörel-Filet train station, walk the short stretch up to the main road and then continue westward to the Aletsch parking. From there, follow the narrow path down to the Mörel power station and cross the Rotten river. Through the shady Lägund forest, hike up to Zen Achru. Via Erlis, the path leads along the Tunetsch cliff over meadows further uphill until after a short forest section you reach the alpine pastures of Tunetschalp. Here, three cultural and themed routes invite you to interesting and educational circular walks: the chapel route, the Nieschrund route, and the lime kiln route. Follow a steep, old sledding path that was previously used as a fast transport route downhill back to the valley, to the district of Filet. From there, you reach the Mörel-Filet train station again within just a few minutes on foot.
