A hotel on Riederalp's promenade
The Golfhotel Riederhof is on the Aletschpromenade, the path that crosses Riederalp from end to end, at about 1,900 m. It is run by Aletsch Hospitality AG and the house presents itself as a four-star hotel. Its name comes from its neighbour: in front of the door begins Riederalp's nine-hole golf course, and behind is a stone pine wood where, according to the hotel itself, you can see squirrels from the north-facing balconies.
It opens two seasons: in summer 2027, from 14 June to 11 October, and in winter, from 18 December 2026 to 29 March 2027. Outside those dates it is closed. For summer 2027 it takes bookings by email.
Rooms, suites and apartments
There are standard doubles, facing the mountain and the golf course, almost all with a north-facing balcony; superior doubles, facing the valley and the Simplon; a family room with two separate bedrooms and no balcony; three suites (the Cassel, named after Sir Ernest Cassel, the banker of the Villa Cassel; the Riederhorn, and the Riederhof, in house B), and two two-bedroom apartments, one of 70 m² for four to six people and another of 60 m² for four or five. The doubles have a shower, safe, television, capsule coffee machine and free wifi.
The price includes the wellness area: saltwater pool with jets, Finnish sauna, steam bath, sensory showers, Kneipp pool and relaxation room. Only guests aged 16 or over are admitted, from 13:00 to 20:00.
Eating at the hotel
Breakfast is a buffet from 7:30 to 10:00. The restaurant is open to the public: regional seasonal cooking, with simple dishes at lunchtime and a longer menu in the evening. Until 31 August the kitchen runs without a break; from September, from 12:00 to 14:00 and from 18:00 to 21:00. There is a dining room, a wooden Stuba and a terrace with views of the mountains. The bar serves Valais wines until 22:00.
Getting there without a car
Riederalp has no cars. You take the train to Mörel and go up on the Aletsch Bahnen gondola to Riederalp Mitte (the large one) or Riederalp West (the small ones). From there the hotel picks you up from 8:00 to 20:00 for CHF 30 return: call ahead and say which station you are arriving at. If you come by car, it stays in the paid car parks at Mörel.
From the hotel you walk to the Villa Cassel and the Aletsch Forest, and you reach the suspension bridge route from Belalp, which ends at Riederalp.
