Description
The names clearly reveal what’s what. Schönbiel means "beautiful small plain on a hill" in the Zermatt dialect. From the Schönbielhütte hill, the view of the Matterhorn is unforgettable, a dream come true. And as dreams tend to do: Depending on the weather conditions, the view of the mighty Matterhorn with its north face can also appear eerie.
The path to the hut passes through a variety of mountain landscapes: cultivated alpine pastures, gravel landscapes of the former glacier tongue of the Zmutt Glacier, terminal moraine lakes, dam with hydroelectric power plant, large lateral moraine. On the return to Furi: alpine pastures with cows, larch stone pine mixed forest.
