Description
“Something for everyone” could be the motto of this trail. Mountain lovers are enchanted by the views of 29 mountains above 4,000 metres rising into the vast blue sky. Admirers of flowers find gentians, alpine anemones and other beautiful plants blossoming along the trail. Railway enthusiasts, meanwhile, enjoy glorious views of the Gornergrat Bahn cog railway and the chance to photograph trains from many different angles.
