Swiss Topwalk (No. 23)

Riffelalp - Riffelberg - Riffelsee - Gornergrat

(Approximate hiking time in the opposite direction 2h)

Our recommendation:

• Good footwear
• Possibly hiking poles
• Weather-appropriate clothing depending on conditions (always carry rain protection)

Take a break at Riffelsee to admire the reflection of the Matterhorn.

• Plan every mountain route carefully and adapt it to your own conditions as well as to the weather and the time of year.
• The weather can change rapidly in the mountains. Therefore, take suitable clothing, enough provisions, and water with you. Turn back in time if the weather is uncertain.
• Inform third parties about the route and, if possible, never go alone.
• Do not leave marked paths and do not enter glaciers without a mountain guide.
• Be considerate of other hikers as well as plants and animals.
• Observe the warning signs that point out the constant danger in riverbeds and along the banks of waterways below dams and water intakes.

Attention! In spring, the path may be impassable because snow is still present.
