The Reitu-Piste counts as classic favorite in the Aletsch Arena and thrills winter sports fans with its even drops and dreamlike panorama.
The broad and relatively short descent has it all - apart from length; although in the past it was regularly used for FIS-Slalom races. From Riederfurka a pretty steep drop leads direction Riederalp station - and it’s on this very piste that the popular Migros-Folk’s-Grand Prix races are currently carried out.
