Description

The climb from Fluhalp (2,616 m) to Pfulwe (3,314 m) lasts about two hours.

Once at Pfulwe, one has a panoramic view of some of the most impressive four thousand-metre peaks in the Alps: Allalin and Rimpfischhorn, Monte Rosa Massif, Matterhorn, Dent Blanche all the way to the Weisshorn.

The effort climbing was worth it, because there is now a downhill run with a drop of about 1,100 metres through powder snow to (2,214 m) and then further down until one is at Täsch.

From there, one can take a taxi or the shuttle train back to Zermatt.
