Description
This path, steep in parts, also includes a stretch through a small forest of larch. Once above the treeline, the vista is incomparable: Matterhorn, Weisshorn, Breithorn and an eagle’s-eye view of the village of Zermatt. Along the uppermost reaches of the trail, hikers can clearly see the droppings of the chamois that occasionally spend the night here.
- Take care in spring and autumn: shady stretches of the path can be icy
- Chance of spotting chamois and ibex
- It takes from the village up to Trift approx. 2 h
