Riffelsee
Highlight • Viewpoint
From here you have a really nice view of the Matterhorn. If there is still no wind, you can still see the Matterhorn reflected in the lake.

Kleiner Riffelsee
Highlight • Lake
The Riffelsee is a little off the beaten track of Zermatt, but the Riffelseeweg (No. 21) leads directly to it. The view of the Matterhorn, the mountain of mountains, standing alone on the horizon, is overwhelming. Above it is only the universe - you will never forget this view. There is no wind and the water surface is therefore flat, especially early in the morning and late in the evening.

View of the Matterhorn from Riffelalp
Highlight • Viewpoint
The goal of a nice bike tour! A little further is a stop of the Gornergratbahn. The railway opened three hotels in the 19th century: the Hotel Riffelberg (2,600 meters), which opened in 1855. The Riffelalp Resort (2,222 meters) and the Kulmhotel (3,100 meters). At 3,089 meters above sea level is also the highest station built outdoors - the terminus of the Gornergrat Bahn.
With this train, after your tour to the Riffelalp, you can start the return journey to Zermatt quite relaxed. If you want to save yourself the trouble of stepping up, you can simply tease the horse / bike from behind: Get a bike ticket in Zermatt, let yourself go up comfortably and discover the trails in "Downhill-Art".
