EN: This grotto is located on the road between Bettmeralp and Riederalp about 200 meters west of the top station of the aerial lift Bettmeralp.

In a brick niche, there is a bronze statue of Mary and Jesus. Above the niche entrance is written in bronze letters: "Holy, precious blood I trust in You." There are some benches around the place. This grotto is not dated, and I could not find any other details.
