The first leg of the journey from Zermatt to the Rothorn is to take the underground funicular "Sunneg Express" to the Sunnega Viewpoint. "Sunnega" means "sun-drenched corner", it is a popular place to watch the complete scenery of the Matterhorn from the foothills to the top, surrounded by green pastures, endless as far as the eye can see. If you have limited time and want to find a good angle to admire the Matterhorn, the Sunnegga Observation Deck is the best choice. From Zermatt's station, you can reach Sunnega at an altitude of 2,288 meters in just 5 minutes by underground funicular. The station has a restaurant and an open viewing platform, plus the often sunny weather, it is very enjoyable to enjoy food in the open-air seating area looking at the Matterhorn. If you have enough time, you can continue to take the aerial cable car to the Rothorn.

Enjoy the view of Matterhorn from Sunnegga
Matterhorn, standing at 4,478 meters, is one of the most beautiful peaks in the Alps and a symbol of pride for Switzerland. Sunnegga, at an altitude of 2,300 meters, offers the best perspective to admire Matterhorn. Its surroundings are dotted with lakes, flowers, meadows, and numerous hiking trails pass through the area. The 'Five Lakes Walk', which can be completed in two to three hours, is one of the trails with lower difficulty but exceptionally beautiful scenery.

Depending on how you go trekking, you usually go to Stellisee > Reimann or
Stellisee > Grindje > Moosijje > Rei.
Take the funicular to Sunnega station
Go outside and turn right to find the ticket office.
In the same way, I applied the Swiss Pass
And took the gondola to Blauherd.
Later, I took the funicular again
And went down to Zermatt station.

The small town of Zermatt
#Overseas travel #Swiss travel #Fall in love with Switzerland
Zermatt is a wonderful city with a view of the Matterhorn.
The city is small, so it's good for sightseeing on foot.
If you find walking difficult, you can take a horse-drawn carriage.
The representative tourist destinations are Gornergrat and Sunnegga.
If you purchase the Swiss Travel Pass, you can get a discount on the mountain train.
Since it's a small city, accommodations fill up quickly,
so I recommend making a reservation in advance.
Be careful, the supermarkets close early!

Swiss Mountaineering Sunnegga Paradise
#Hiking
Sunnegga-Rothorn (1,620 m) is located next to the Vispa River that flows through Zermatt. The ticket office here is located near the entrance to the tunnel with electronic information panels. Since 1980, the funicular has conveniently transported locals and foreign tourists to Sunnegga. The Sunnegga-Rothorn route is a great place to experience easy hiking and pretty lakes. The train station is just a 10-minute walk from the Zermatt train station and is connected to the funicular station through a tunnel deep in the mountain. Among these, Sunnegga Paradise is a popular course for beginners because of its sunny weather and many forests and trees. Many travelers enjoy easy hiking thanks to the mirror-like Leisee Lake located below Sunnegga Paradise. I climbed here after 1 o'clock. I wanted to enjoy a long hike, but since it was my first time climbing the mountain, I decided to have a beer at the lodge in Sunega Paradise to get a feel for the atmosphere.
