Description
In the summer months, the Schwarzsee top station is the starting point for the climb to the Hörnli Hut, the base camp for the Matterhorn ascent. During the colder months, you meet skiers and snowboarders, snowshoe and winter hikers.
Starting from the top station, the winter hiking trail heads below the Matterhorn past the frozen lakes and soon reveals the view of Zermatt and the stunning panorama from Ober Gabelhorn across to Breithorn and the Bernese Alps in the background. The trail proceeds steadily downhill to the Aroleid middle station, where the cable car goes back via Schwarzsee to Zermatt.
