Riederalp, Hohfluh chairlift

The circular ski trail starts on Riederalp. Take the Hohfluh chairlift up to Hohfluh view point, from where you make your first descent: begin by heading west (slopes 6a, 7 and 4a ) down to the Riederfurka chairlift, which takes you up to Riederfurka. The next destination is the valley station of the Gletscherbahn Moosfluh (slopes 3a, 8a and 8b). On reaching the top, you can enjoy the magnificent view from Moosfluh view point before tackling the next descent. Next, head east to Bettmeralp (slopes 12a, 12b and 41a) or, to be precise, the training lift there. This takes you so high up that it’s an easy final push to the Wurzenbord chairlift. Take this lift all the way up, then continue on to the Schönbiel chairlift (slopes 50 and 51) and again ride to the top. Now head for the Bettmerhorn cable car (pistes 45, 46a and 46), which will whisk you up to the next view point on Bettmerhorn. Magnificent views of the Valais mountains and the Matterhorn await you there, before you enjoy the descent (slopes 52, 55, 58 and 71) all the way to Fiescheralp. Take the t-bar lift there, which gives you enough momentum at the end to reach the Flesch chairlift. Once at the top, you can look forward to a long, fast-paced downhill run (slopes 74 and 75). Then take the Flesch chairlift again to the mountain station and once again head west from there (slopes 71, 59, 47a and 46): your destination is the magic carpet on Bettmeralp, to give you enough momentum to get to the Blausee chairlift (piste 42). This takes you to the starting point for your descent to the valley station of Gletscherbahn Moosfluh (slopes 18 and 12). Here you can catch the combi-lift back up to Moosfluh view point and can then look forward to the final downhill stage of the Gletschi Tour, ending up on Riederalp (pistes 12a, 13 and 10).
