Layout and connections
editMörel is located on the north bank of the Rhone river in the municipality of Mörel-Filet. The valley stations of two aerial tramways, both of which serve Riederalp, are located across the Furkastrasse. The station itself has two side platforms serving two tracks.[4] The station has limited facilities; the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn demolished the station building in 2014, over the objections of the local government.[5]
