The Ricola Herb Garden in Zermatt is a unique and scenic stop for visitors who want to experience the natural ingredients behind Switzerland’s famous Ricola herbal drops. Nestled in the alpine landscape above the village, this open-air garden showcases the 13 herbs used in Ricola’s signature blends, all grown in their natural environment.

Located near Blatten, just a short walk or hike from Zermatt, the herb garden offers an interactive and sensory experience, where visitors can see, smell, and learn about plants like thyme, sage, peppermint, and elderflower. Informational signs throughout the garden explain the benefits of each herb and their role in Ricola’s natural recipes.

Beyond the educational aspect, the garden itself is a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy the fresh mountain air, with stunning views of the Matterhorn in the background. The area is freely accessible, making it an easy and enjoyable stop for hikers or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat away from the main tourist paths.
