Matterhorn Views Hike (Gornergrat)

Zermatt, AA

6.5 miles / 10.5 km

September 16, 2025

One of my favorite hikes with amazing Matterhorn views for almost the whole way. We originally planned to ride the train back from Riffelberg but hiked to Riffelalp instead. When we reached Riffelalp, we just missed the train with another coming in 1 hour so we hiked over 4,500 feet from Gornergrat down to Findelbach. We saw no hikers and only a couple of mountain bikers between Riffelberg and Findelbach stations. I would not recommend hiking the section from Riffelalp to Findelbach since the Matterhorn views are the best along the hike before Riffelalp station.

Stunning lake with a ton of trout. The llamas were a fun unexpected addition to the walk. Showed up in the early morning on a rainy day and enjoyed the lake with minimal people.

Beautiful waterfall that can be seen all over the Lauterbrunnen valley. I waited at the viewpoint near the trailhead but the area is crowded with tourists.
