Description

The Europaweg between Grächen and Zermatt is considered by many to be the most beautiful 2-day hike in the Alps.

The views along this mountain panorama including the Matterhorn have made it famous around the world.

These breathtakingly stunning views of nature were used as orientation points by those responsible for mapping out the path in the villages of St.

Niklaus, Grächen, Randa, Täsch and Zermatt to create the Europaweg in 1997.

It goes from Grächen via Gasenried to Grat.

From there, it continues southwards high above the Mattertal to the Europa Hut above Randa.

After a stay there, it goes over the world-record suspension bridge - the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world, which traverses the Grabengufer.

The bridge is 494 m long and 85 m above the chasm below at its highest point.

The path then continues in the direction of Täschalp and finally to Zermatt. * Täschalp: cheese and Ziger soft cheese for sale equipment We recommend: * Good, stubborn footwear * Hiking poles (optional) # Clothing suitable for the weather (always carry a waterproof) * Food and water
