This snowshoe hike can be quite a challenge, depending on snow conditions. The route leads 741 vertical metres down the mountain. But walkers’ efforts are well rewarded: the view over the village of Zermatt is magical.
Schwarzsee - Hermetje - Furi (to the Furi - Zmutt road)
The last part of the walk follows the road back to Furi - snowshoes no longer required.
(Hiking time in reverse direction: approx. 2h 30)
We recommend:
Chamois may be spotted already on the gondola ride to Schwarzsee.
The snowshoe trails can be tackled without a mountain guide. Beware: they are not prepared in any way and are not controlled daily; nor are they secured from natural hazards such as avalanches or rockfalls. For safety, check the weather forecast and current avalanche bulletin.
All snowshoeing is at one’s own risk.
Tip: “Be searchable”. Equip yourself with an additional RECCO rescue reflector*. Whether summer or winter. Available in our Online-Shop or our information desk.
*The additional reflector does not replace an avalanche beacon.
