The starting point of this hike is Bettmeralp cable car mountain station. From here you head west along the Aletsch Promenade, which is paved and therefore wheelchair accessible. There is virtually no climb to the destination of the hike – the Riederalp mountain station. Benches along the Aletsch Promenade invite you to rest a while and enjoy the view. By the way, the Aletsch Promenade is lit at night! So it’s also ideal for an evening stroll.
