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.
