About Ried-Mörel
Ried-Mörel is a village of around 300 people on the cable car line between Mörel and Riederalp, part of the municipality of Riederalp since 2003. Unlike Riederalp, it can be reached by car. Its cable car station sits on the line from Mörel to Riederalp West, about nine minutes away, with cars every five minutes. Old Suonen irrigation channels, first recorded in 1385, once carried Aletsch glacier water here, and the ruined Mancapan castle recalls the counts of Mörel. Evenings are quiet. The homes sit together in the village, mostly sleep around six, and some take eight.
Is Ried-Mörel right for you?
- Best for
- Aletsch Arena skiers and hikers who want to keep a car
- Not for you if
- You want to ski from the door or have bars and shops in the village, because both are a cable car ride away.

When to go to Ried-Mörel
Winter is the time for the Aletsch Arena's 104 km of pistes and the toboggan run at Moosfluh. In the warmer months walkers head for the Massa Gorge, the Blausee, a small lake at the Moosfluh mid-station, and the Riederalp golf course, said to be Europe's highest.

per nightRied-Mörel villa holidays: questions answered
Can you drive to Ried-Mörel?
Yes, and that is its main advantage. Ried-Mörel, Greich and Goppisberg can be reached by car, while tourists cannot drive to Riederalp. The cable car from Ried-Mörel reaches Riederalp West in about nine minutes.
Is Ried-Mörel good for skiing?
Good as a base, not for ski-in. The Aletsch Arena, with over 100 km of mostly easy and intermediate pistes reaching to Fiesch, is a short cable car ride up to Riederalp.
Ried-Mörel or Riederalp?
Choose Ried-Mörel if you want to arrive by car, and Riederalp if you would rather stay in the car-free resort itself. The cable car between them runs every five minutes and takes about nine.
