Guided Hiking Half Day in Zermatt

1.Guided Hiking Half Day in Zermatt

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 23 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $422Our pick

A guided half-day hike in Zermatt built for photos, with Matterhorn viewpoints, Gornergrat panoramas, Gorner Gorge stops, and Stellisee reflections.

“Our guided hike with Matthew was an unforgettable experience! He led us on a beautiful trail that passed through two charming mountain villages—something we never would have discovered on our own. Along the way, he shared fascinating insights about the area’s history and nature, all while being kind, funny, and incredibly easy to talk to. Matthew also gave us detailed instructions for a hike we wanted to do the next day, plus helpful recommendations for the rest of our trip. He truly listened to what we were looking for and delivered exactly that. My family and I highly recommend booking an outdoor experience with him!”

Then we traveled to Schwarsee Lake and the chapel then took the gondola back to Furi to Riffelberg. We hiked up to Riffelsee to see an amazing view of the Matterhorn with gorgeous reflections of Matterhorn on the lake.

Zermatt full-day guided hike with the Gornergrat cogwheel train, 360-degree Alps views, and an easy-to-moderate trail with a tailored guide.

“Our guide Petr was excellent. We were very lucky the weather held out and was sunny for most of the day. He really gave us our money's worth. We did a 6 mile hike on a moderate route, per our request. He spent the entire time completely engaged with us and explaining flora, fauna, and geography! He communicated several times prior to our hike making sure we were dressed appropriately for the climate and terrain. Petr even picked us up at our hotel!.”
