The trail starts in Winkelmatten, where walkers can enjoy a clear view of the Matterhorn, before leading over snowy expanses and past small hamlets and agricultural buildings. It then starts to climb into the mountains, sometimes steeply, before plunging into romantic Alpine forest.
In Schweigmatten, a small barn stands on top of a big rock split in two, looking out over a wide snowy expanse. It’s like a scene from another era.
