Take the gondel down to Ried-Morel from Riederalp West and start Hike from there. You can chose the walk via the Knevelbrucke (this hike) or via the Massa weg (also very nice). The only thing to be aware of is that the total uphil climb is about 1000 meters, which is pretty tough. The views on the way, however, are stunning. The route can of course also be done in reverse, but that is steep as well and we prefer to walk uphill.
