Description

The Moosfluh Enduro Trail combines high-alpine panoramas with diverse trail fun all the way down to the valley. The starting point is the Moosfluh viewpoint high above the Aletsch plateau, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Great Aletsch Glacier. The first section is an easy, natural single trail along the ridge towards Biel. Just before Lake Blausee, there is a small climb. This is followed by the Blausee Trail, an exciting mix of natural sections and flowy parts with banked turns, small jumps, and rollers. Along the way, you’ll enjoy impressive views of the Weisshorn, Matterhorn, and the Rhone Valley. The Chüehstall restaurant is a perfect spot for a break. From Riederalp, you dive into the mountain forest and follow a more technical enduro trail with roots, stones, and plenty of vertical descent down to Mörel. This trail combines nature, scenery, and riding fun for a great Enduro experience. 

Our favorites

Our favorite itineraries are part of a selection of the best routes in the region and are proposed by Valais/Wallis Promotion to best meet the expectations of our guests.

Turn-by-turn directions

The tour starts at the Moosfluh viewpoint above Riederalp. From here, a narrow single trail leads southeast along the ridge. The path is easy and flowy at first, crossing alpine terrain with clear views of the Great Aletsch Glacier. Just before Biel, the trail leaves the ridge and heads downhill towards Lake Blausee.

Below the Blausee middle station, the actual Blausee Trail begins. After some wide curves and small rollers, it crosses open alpine meadows with constant views of the Rhone Valley and the surrounding 4,000-metre peaks. Near the Chüehstall restaurant, the path briefly becomes narrower and more natural before returning to flowy sections.

At Riederalp, the trail passes through the car-free village and enters the forest. The path becomes steeper and more technical, with rooty and rocky sections towards Goppisberg. After a short stretch on the road, you ride through the village centre. Follow the turn-off towards the valley floor and continue on forest and meadow paths, with short road crossings, until you reach the valley station in Mörel.

Author's recommendation

You can already ride parts of the lower section between Riederalp and Mörel in spring. Ideal for an early start to the season with many downhill meters.
