Description

From the station, you walk to the back part of the village and then up to the hamlet of Blatten, where a visit to the chapel is worthwhile. Between Blatten and Moos, you cross a wooden bridge before entering the winter wonderland at Moos.

A highlight of the circular route is crossing the Findelbach Bridge. The spectacular bridge is 93 meters long and spans 50 meters above the Findelbach.

The last section also goes through the forest. On the flat AHV Trail, you proceed to Zermatt and through the village back to the station.

  • Suitable for children aged 6 and over
  • Baroque chapel "Maria Rosenkranzkönigin" at Blatten
  • Findelbach Bridge – one of Zermatt’s most popular photo motifs
