Both mountains, the Mettelhorn and the Platthorn, reveal totally unexpected views to the west: the summit of the Wellenkuppe with its wave of snow, and the Ober Gabelhorn with its dramatic rocky ridges.
Zermatt (station) - Alterhaupt (Edelweiss) - Trift - Furgji - Platthorn / Mettelhorn
(Hiking time for the walk back: approx. 3h 10)
We recommend:
Important! A good head for heights, a sure foot and mountain experience are needed
Please contact the Trift Berggasthaus for the most up-to-date information on trail conditions.
It is worthwhile taking a couple of souvenir photographs, because the view from the Mettelhorn is beautiful: Under one is the village of Zermatt and under the other is the Mattertal. Almost within reach are also the two four thousand-metre Zinalrothorn (4,221 m) and the Weisshorn (4,506 m).
Note: Pay careful attention to weather and tour length. Take special care on wet paths and wet terrain.
