• Lake Mattmark Trail

    September 29, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    I threw open the balcony window early this morning, and lo and behold, another sunny day awaited us in Saas-Fee, with a brilliant blue sky. We've been truly fortunate with the weather so far.

    Today, we hopped on the postal bus and made our way to the Mattmark Lake dam. From there, we embarked on a delightful two-hour hike around the lake, encountering rushing waterfalls, a herd of cows, a tunnel, and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. It was a truly magical hike.

    Rather than taking the bus back, we decided to hike back to Saas Fee from Sass Almagell. Along the way, I spotted numerous mushrooms, although sadly, they were either past their prime or unfit for consumption. We had the thrill of watching two boys zip-lining across the deep gorge as we arrived at the bridge in Saas-Fee.

    Dinner plans are still up in the air, but four of us are in the mood for some Raclette. Restaurant Vieux Châlet was the answer! Yummy 😋.
