Join us for a full day of adventure and hike one of the most stunning trails in Zermatt!
Our journey will start by hopping on the iconic Gornergrat cogwheel train to Gornergrat ridge. During this 45min trip, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful view offered by the 4000m peak around Zermatt including the majestic Matterhorn. Once at the summit, an easy short loop will bring you to breathtaking views of the valley, mountains and glacier surrounding the Gornergrat ridge.
After enjoying the views and taking many memorable pictures, we will start our hike down to the Riffelsee.
The Riffelsee is an amazing alpine lake that captures the imagination and on a good day offers the mirror reflection of the Matterhorn on its surface.

5.00Gioia was an amazing guide. The trip was exceedingly well planned. We were able to see all the things we wanted to see and so much more. Gioia provided fascinating information about our hike, the town of Zermatt and the history of the area. She was able to answer every wuestion the 3 of us came up with but so much more. We saw beautiful views of the Matterhorn and enjoyed a wonderful day. Recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Swiss nature and the Matterhorn. Unforgettable.
Great trip, terrible booking experience

1.00We had Gioia as our guide for the tour, everything went fine during the trip. We had a very nice walk, enjoyed amazing views and our guide shared with us interesting information throughout the entire trip. However, the booking experience was terrible, as it didn't mention the additional costs involved. The tour on the website didn't specify anything about the Gornergrat train ticket needed for this trip and when we specifically wrote to support, asking for this information, we were told that the ticket is included in the final price for 6 people, as shown on the website ($582). So we ended up paying an additional 132 CHF per person, for the train ticket, in the morning, after meeting our guide and finding out that the train ticket is in fact not included. This information has been updated on the website since then, but still, for us it was a very disappointing experience since we clearly asked about this before booking and paying for this trip. Moreover, even after paying the reservation, in the ticket we got, it again didn't mention this, in the "not included" section for this tour.
Beautiful day to the Matterhorn
