Sunnegga is one of the most accessible and scenic viewpoints in Zermatt, offering stunning views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding peaks. Sitting at 2,288 meters, it’s a year-round destination with activities for hikers, skiers, and families alike.

Reaching Sunnegga is easy with the underground funicular from Zermatt, which takes just a few minutes to climb through the mountain before opening up to breathtaking alpine scenery. In summer, the area is a paradise for hikers, with trails leading to Stellisee, Leisee, and further up to Rothorn. The Five Lakes Hike, one of the most popular routes, starts here, guiding you through beautiful landscapes with reflections of the Matterhorn in the crystal-clear mountain lakes.

Seraina’s Tip: If you're visiting in summer, take the trail from Sunnegga to Findeln. This small hamlet is home to traditional wooden houses and some of the best mountain restaurants in Zermatt, serving local specialties with a spectacular view of the Matterhorn.
