From Mörel-Filet, take the gondola up to the middle station in Ried-Mörel. Follow the path along the Grosser Graben. Cross the gorge once you’re level with Greich, which is on the other side of the Grosser Graben. The path is narrow but easily walkable. From Greich, continue past the striking middle station of the Mörel-Riederalp cable car in the direction of Goppisberg. The path runs above the road, then between avalanche barriers and through a forest until it rejoins the road just before Goppisberg. Follow the road for around 100 metres, then take the gravel path that branches off right and continues down to Goppisberg. You then hike back to Mörel-Filet via Breiten.
