Keen runners use the Swiss Topwalk as a training course. Regular hikers, too, enjoy the trail, which begins gently in the forest before leading along the "Aussichtsweg" path up to the Gornergrat.
Sweeping panoramic views accompany hikers all along this beautiful trail. Highlight: the reflection of the Matterhorn in the Riffelsee lake.
For athletes keen to boost their red blood cell count, this trail with its vertical climb of 900 m offers excellent altitude training. One attraction is the option – good for the joints – to head back down to the village afterwards on the Gornergrat Bahn cog railway, enjoying panoramic views along the way, Matterhorn included.
Riffelalp - Riffelberg - Riffelsee - Gornergrat
(Hiking time in reverse direction: approx. 2h)
We recommend:
Take a break at the lake Riffelsee to gaze in wonder at the mirror image of the Matterhorn.
Caution! In spring the path may not be passable because of snow.
