The Mettelhorn is a similarly easy to walk over three thousand meters, whose exposed summit at 3406m with a breathtaking view of the Matterhorn lets forget the efforts of the last part of the route. On the other side of the mountain falls a few hundred meters steep, it may happen that a helicopter flying below through the valley.
The path to the Mettelhorn leads over the Trifthütte to the hollow glacier, from which you have to cross at least a little bit, depending on the snow conditions. Special equipment is not required, poles are helpful and caution is required in any case.
