Rothorn Paradise

Take a thrilling journey to the summit of Rothorn in Zermatt, where the panoramic views of the Matterhorn and surrounding peaks are truly breathtaking. Board funicular to Sunnegga and then the gondola to Blauherd before finally boarding the Rothorn cable car and arriving at the summit to see Switzerland’s most iconic landscape unfold before you.

Viewed from the Rothorn summit, the Matterhorn - along with numerous other four-thousand-metre-peaks as well as impressive glaciers- presents itself at its most stunning. The theme walk Peak Collection around the recently renovated Restaurant Rothorn is one of a kind. The world-renowned Lake Stellisee at 2537 metres altitude reflects the iconic Matterhorn on its glassy surface and is the most photographed mountain lake in Zermatt. From Blauherd, it is only a 20-minute walk to Lake Stellisee. The popular Flower Walk also starts at Blauherd, leads to Tuftern and then back to Sunnegga. Various info panels enhance the visitors knowledge of local flora and fauna. This pleasant hike can be walked at a leisurely pace in approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.
