Today we conquer either the 5 Lakes Hike OR the Matterhorn Glacier Trail.

Option 1: The 5 Lakes Hike Traverses

• Five lakes (you guessed it) over a three hour walk.
• Begin from Blauherd cable car station and hike downwards with a distant view of the Matterhorn, greenery and multiple lakes. You can swim in two, so this would be a nice option on a hot day.

Option 2: The Matterhorn Glacier Trail

• Distance: 6.6km (2 to 2-½ hours)
• The Matterhorn Glacier Trail (hike 26) is arguably the most stunning walk in Zermatt. The walk is about as close as you can get to the Matterhorn without summiting.
