Mensaje de Seraina Zellweger

Located at an altitude of 2,757 meters, Riffelsee is famous for its crystal-clear reflections of the iconic Matterhorn, making it a must-visit destination for photographers, hikers, and nature lovers.

The lake is easily accessible from the Rotenboden station on the Gornergrat Railway, just one stop below the summit of Gornergrat. From Rotenboden, it’s a short and easy 10-minute walk along a well-marked trail to reach Riffelsee. The path offers stunning views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers, building anticipation for the lake’s dramatic reveal.

Riffelsee’s beauty changes with the seasons, from the vibrant greens of summer to the golden hues of autumn and the snowy tranquility of winter. The calm waters of the lake create perfect reflections of the Matterhorn on clear days, making it a magical spot for photography.

To get there, take the Gornergrat Railway from Zermatt and disembark at Rotenboden station. From there, follow the signs to Riffelsee. The train ride and short walk make this destination accessible to visitors of all fitness levels.

Seraina’s Tip: Visit early in the morning when the lake is calmest, providing the best chances for those famous Matterhorn reflections. Pack a picnic to enjoy by the water or combine your trip with a hike to Gornergrat for an unforgettable alpine adventure.
