Reviews

Amazing views views of glacier. Good lift network. If there is recent snow, lots of easily accessible off piste. Not a huge area, but plenty to keep you busy for a few days.

Riederalp - Bettmeralp are two great local resorts in Switzerland! The skiing is superb, the views of the mountains/valley and glacier are amazing and the lines are never very long. Highly recommend checking it out if youre in the area!
