Description
From the train station, one walks to the far part of the village and then up to the hamlet of Blatten, where there is a wonderful view of a chapel waiting. Between Blatten and Moos, one crosses a wooden bridge before arriving at the enchanted winter forest near Moos.
A highlight of the circular trail is the crossing of the Findelbach Bridge. This spectacular bridge is 93 metres long and about 50 metres above the Findelbach.
The last section of the hike also passes through the forest again. The level AHV trail goes to Zermatt and back to the Bahnhof through the village.
- Suitable for children over 6 years old
- Baroque Maria Rosenkranzkönigin Chapel at Blatten
- Findelbach Bridge – one of the most popular photo opportunities around Zermatt
