Riederalp

Riederalp occupies a south-facing terrace above the Rhône Valley in Valais, at roughly 1,900 metres in the Swiss Alps. This car-free resort forms part of the Aletsch Arena, a mountain area beside the Great Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier in the Alps. The glacier and surrounding peaks belong to the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage property. Footpaths and cable-car connections shape summer and winter life, while the village itself remains free of private cars. Villa Cassel, once the summer residence of British financier Sir Ernest Cassel, now houses the Pro Natura Centre Aletsch.
