Description
On the partly steep path, you also walk through a small larch forest. Afterwards, above the tree line, the view is incomparable. View of the Matterhorn, Weisshorn, Breithorn, and an eagle's view of the village of Zermatt. In the highest part of the hike, you can clearly see the droppings of chamois, which sometimes rest here at night.
- Be careful in spring and autumn: the path can be icy in shaded areas
- Observe chamois and ibex
- Duration from the village to Trift approx. 2 h
