June 23, 2023,5-Seenweg (Zermatt) von Sunnegga Paradise 🇨🇭🥾🏔️❤️

Grünsee, Leisee, Stellisee, Mosjesee and Grindjisee - the tour of the famous 5 lakes in which the Matterhorn is reflected. There isn't much else to say about it, other than that everyone who visits Zermatt should do this tour. We walked it counterclockwise from Sunnegga because we wanted to feel something in our legs. It was a pleasure! 🥾🇨🇭🏔️❤️

June 28, 2022,Zermatt Tag 2 - Fünf Seen Runde

Today we took the Rothornbahn up to the mountain station. We wanted to see the world-famous view from the Riffelsee, where the Matterhorn is reflected.
Unfortunately the weather put a spoke in our wheel. The Matterhorn was in the clouds and the lake was not calm. Despite the missing postcard idyll, the hike had something mysterious, mystical...
Unfortunately, it then …

Today was finally my personal highlight on my to-do list 🥰. Seeing the Matterhorn in real life was a huge dream of mine. And I wasn't disappointed; this mountain is beautiful! It's not easy to get this mountain and its peak in front of your lens, as clouds are constantly gathering around the peak. I managed it once. It was …
