Sonnenweg (No. 22)

Gornergrat - Rotenboden - Riffelberg

(Approximate hiking time for the opposite direction 1 h 35)

Our recommendation:

• Good footwear
• Possibly hiking poles
• Clothing suitable for the weather (always bring: rain protection)

With some luck, marmots can be observed, which fatten themselves for the coming winter.

A little above Riffelberg is also the venue of the well-known Eagle Cup golf tournament.

• Carefully plan every mountain route and adapt it to your own conditions as well as the weather and season.
• The weather can change quickly in the mountains. Therefore, take suitable clothing and enough provisions and water. Turn back in good time in case of uncertain weather.
• Inform others about the tour and if possible never go alone.
• Do not leave marked paths and do not go on glaciers without a mountain guide.
• Be considerate of other hikers as well as plants and animals.
• Observe the warning signs that draw attention to the constant danger in the riverbed and on the banks of watercourses below dams and water intakes.

Attention! In spring, the path may not be passable because snow may still be present.
