Description

This hike is mostly flat and only slightly uphill but without any major obstacles.

However, it's roughly 20 kilometres from St.

Niklaus to Zermatt so you should plan in roughly five hours of walking. The trail leads past streams, restaurants and traditional houses. equipment #We recommend # * good footwear * clothing suitable for the weather: always carry a waterproof jacket * hat or cap * sunscreen * bottle for water * picnic * camera * binoculars (optional) * hiking poles (optional) * printout of this hike (click "Print" icon, to download)
