This hike wanders through beautiful forests with lush fall colors. It visits three alpine lakes on the way, an adaption of the popular Zermatt 5 Lake Hike, which is not possible after the Sunnegga - Blauherd gondola closes in early October.

The main charm here are the golden larch trees and red blueberry bushes, which are absolutely gorgeous in fall. Our pictures are from the first week of October, but the fall colors may not start until mid October.

Check current conditions and trail status before heading out as this area can have snow in early October.

Hike: moderate • 2 hrs • 6 km • 245 m up, 175 m down See trail map on Komoot.
