Description
Especially after fresh snowfall, this walk promises pure pleasure. Hikers following the leisurely trail barely notice the descent of about 300 vertical metres, so beautiful are the mountain vistas – taking in the Matterhorn, Klein Matterhorn, Breithorn and other peaks. Railway enthusiasts are also in for a treat, with fine views of the cog trains of the Gornergrat Bahn as they twist prettily and almost silently through the snow-blanketed landscape.
- From Gornergrat, set off left of the railway line
- Unusual route away from the ski pistes
- Pink markers approx. every 100 m along the route
- Photo subjects: Gornergrat Bahn cog railway and mountain panorama
