The Postcard Shot of Zermatt

Riffelsee is a small alpine lake that mirrors the pyramid peak of the Matterhorn on calm mornings.

  • How to Get There: Take the Gornergrat cogwheel train from Zermatt to Rotenboden station (28 mins). Walk down the easy 10-minute dirt path to the lakeshore.
  • Timing: Arrive between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM before afternoon winds ruffle the water surface.
