Zermatt

Today's hike commenced from our lodging in Zermatt, setting off on a gentle ascent through the picturesque Zmuttbach valley, partially through larch forests, until we reached the quaint hamlet of Zmutt. Here, we indulged in a well-deserved break, savoring coffee and apple strudel while the majestic Matterhorn remained a constant, awe-inspiring presence in our view.

Continuing our hike, we passed by the Zmuttbach Water Reservoir, offering a unique perspective of the Matterhorn rarely captured in photographs – a truly remarkable sight. As we ventured further, we met some lady mountain bikers, and the trail led us across the Zmuttbach, guiding us back to Zermatt on the opposite side of the valley. Along the way, we encountered the renowned Mountain Restaurant Furi, and to our delightful surprise, we were joined by Hans and Elisabeth, who had taken a separate route.

Our evening was capped off with a delightful dinner at Restaurant du Pont, renowned for its delectable dishes hailing from the Wallis mountain region.Weiterlesen
