Hiking trailMedium
Forest path Zermatt (No. 12)
A leisurely zigzag through the mixed larch forest. The trees provide shade but also repeatedly allow views into the distance. From the Ried area, the wide view of the Matterhorn is surprising.

Description
When the sun shines on the forest, the resins of the larches and Swiss stone pines emit a pleasant aroma. Take a deep breath, pure relaxation. At the edge of the well-developed gravel path, rustling can be heard everywhere. Who will spot the first squirrel nibbling on its Swiss stone pine cone? And who recognizes the chuckling of the nutcracker?
