context_page_description: Riederalp is a municipality in the district of Raron in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. It was created in 2003 through the merger of Goppisberg, Greich and Ried-Mörel.
context_section_description: Beginners and intermediate skiers have the bulk of the 30 km (19 mi) of pistes, while expert skiers and snowboarders have a choice of off-piste at the top of the mountain.
  Riederalp is a traffic-free village (cable car access) with a small number of permanent residents who are dwarfed by the influx of in-season tourists.  Seven ski lifts operate over the 30 km (19 mi) of Riederalp and adjoining Bettmeralp's slope.  In addition, there are 19 km (12 mi) of cross-country trails.
  There are about 25 km (16 mi) of winter walking paths around the village.  There is also a sports centre, and an indoor swimming pool at Bettmeralp.
