Winter Fun in Zermatt

Winter hiking on the Gornergrat
Hiking on the Gornergrat is not just reserved for the summer months.  Let your feet dance and tread among a snowy world where there are 29 peaks over four thousand metres high. 

A winter wonderland becomes reality on the trail from Ratenboden via the Riffelsee to Riffelberg, or from Riffelalp to Zermatt.  Warmly clad and with sturdy shoes, this is a discovery for any walker.    The Rotenboden-Riffelsee-Riffelberg trail is about 2,5 kilometres long and the hike takes about 50 minutes.  From Riffelalp to Zermatt, the 5-km hike means 1 ½ hours.  Both trails are open from Christmas until Easter, as long as weather conditions permit.

Rotenboden Snowpark
Powerful speakers pump out heavy bass sounds over the pipe.  The kids freak out with every successful grab.  Tables, halfpipe, quarter, bumps.  Slides where a full crash lands the rider in powder snow.  Shake it off, and get back into the action at the new Rotenboden Snowpark on the Gornergrat. This new event centre, with a kids’ corner, a large igloo and a trendy tepee bar, is a metting point.  There is plenty of food and drink plus cool, trendy sounds in the igloo. You can reach Rotenboden Snowpark from the Gornergrat station via run 9f. To get back to Zermatt or up to the Gornergrat, simply climb back aboard the train at Riffelberg station.

Sledge ride fun in the area of the Gornergrat ski runs in Zermatt
Sledge ride fun in the skiing and adventure region of Gornergrat – and even for free.  Experience the winter season from another angle than as carver, skier or snowboarder.  Go for the kick and delight of the sledge run.
