Gornergrat-Riffelberg
Geological hike
Hike T3 - passing the famous Riffelsee lake
Aurélie Happy-Shoes accompanies you along this super famous hike, Gornergrat-Riffelsee. However, it is a journey through time to discover the different rocks and the formation of the Alps, with the help of Michel Marthaler's book, Zermatt: an ocean safari.
What is the plan?
You will meet Aurélie_Happy Shoes at 9:00 am at Gornergrat station (exact time confirmed the day before the tour). We take the train to the Gornergrat together. At the top, we do a little geography lesson and discover the 29 4000m peaks that surround us. Then we begin the descent of about 1.5 hours to Riffelseee, where we take a short photo break before continuing the descent to Riffelberg from where we will take the train to return to Zermatt in the early afternoon. Our hike will be punctuated by numerous breaks to discover the geological formations surrounding us.
