Hiking

You reach this plateau on the hike from the Gornergrat towards Riffelsee. There, you can reboard the Gornergrat Railway. Sturdy footwear and surefootedness are recommended for the trail; it's not particularly steep, but it does involve some rough terrain. The views, however, are breathtaking.

Hiking

The Matterhorn (known as Matterhorn in German and Gran Becca in Valdôtain) is one of the most iconic and fascinating mountains in the world, famous for its extraordinary and unmistakable almost perfect pyramid shape. At 4,478 meters above sea level, it stands isolated in the Pennine Alps along the Italian-Swiss border, overlooking the renowned tourist resorts of Breuil-Cervinia on the Italian side (in the Aosta Valley) and Zermatt on the Swiss side (in the Canton of Valais).
