Riederalp is a family-friendly, car-free summer and winter holiday resort in the Upper Valais, located on a sunny high plateau, surrounded by park-like countryside at an altitude of almost 2000 metres above sea level. Riederalp provides ideal access to the first UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site in the Alps located by the Big Aletsch Glacier.

The water melts from our glaciers and after a long journey through layers of granite emerges pure and fresh from our faucets. In the hiking-paradise Rosswald is where the water is traveling through the said layers right now.

Thirteen four-thousand-metre peaks encircle the Valais glacier village of Saas-Fee – often also termed the «Pearl of the Alps» – which has retained much of its traditional charm. Even the route to Saas-Fee through the Saas valley with its scarped gorges and mountainsides is an experience in itself. The underground Metro Alpin funicular railway leads right up onto the 3500-metre Mittelallalin with its year-round glacier skiing region.

Siders (French: Sierre), situated on a number of hills and nestling among vineyards, is a small town in the Valais blessed with a great deal of sunshine. Wine-growing and culture are both of great importance here. Many artists have fallen in love with the location and culture of the town. Thanks to its central position, Siders is also an ideal starting point for lots of excursions.
