Location and accessibility

The mountain farming village of Ried-Mörel is located on a terrace between Mörel and Riederalp and consists of a variety of small hamlets on the right, very sunny side of the Rhone Valley at 1,168 m above sea level. The village is accessible all year round via a well-developed road or public transport (Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn to Mörel, then cable car from Mörel to Ried-Mörel in the direction of Riederalp). The village of Ried-Mörel is part of the municipality of Riederalp.


The house, built in 1852, was extended in 1893. It is covered with a metal roof and is located in an unobstructable and very sunny spot on the road leading out of the village of Ried-Mörel in the direction of Oberried.


By car, you can reach Brig, the central starting point for all recreational areas in Valais, in 15 minutes.





Description of the house

The ground-floor apartment with a living area of approximately 44 m² welcomes you directly with a rustic kitchen. This requires a comprehensive renovation. The currently existing kitchenette is no longer functional, but the water and drainage connections are intact. A traditional wood stove in the kitchen and the historic Giltstein stove in the adjacent living room (built in 1852) provide cozy warmth. The heating system is supplemented by electric direct heating.


The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, toilet, and sink, and also offers a new washing tower, which, like part of the furniture, is included in the purchase price. Real wood floors give the living room and bedroom a warm atmosphere, while the wet area is easy to maintain with Novilon.


The apartment on the 1st floor offers a freshly renovated bathroom with shower, toilet, and sink, as well as a functional kitchen with modern floorboards. The bright living room and the two other rooms - ideal as bedrooms, children's rooms, or offices - are equipped with carpeted floors and convince with their friendly atmosphere.


Please note: The room heights are approximately 1.85 m throughout the house. Due to the building substance, a structural adjustment is not possible, which, however, does not detract from the charm of this historic house.


The spacious attic is accessible via a wooden staircase on the north side of the house.


The house also includes the agricultural land with parcel number 1143, on which the building is located. This is maintained by a local farmer and is available - if no cows are grazing - as an idyllic spot for playing, relaxing, or simply enjoying nature. Directly next to the house, there is also enough space to set up a cozy and sunny seating area - ideal for relaxing hours outdoors.
