It was one week ago when Jerry and I explored the region of Zermatt and stretched our bodies to see the wonders of this spectacular mountainous area. I tell you, there were so many "wow" moments, that we now feel obliged to present the 2 spectacular hikes we did around Zermatt. We truly think you should do them too. Seriously. You need to be convinced? Continue reading.

2 Must-Do Hikes in Zermatt, Switzerland
To reach Zermatt from Zurich, take the train of 3 h 12 min or drive for about 3 h 35 min. Please note, Zermatt is a car-free village. To park your car, there is a parking available in Täsch - 5 km from Zermatt. Then a shuttle train brings you to the final destination. Once there, get active and choose one of the outdoor activities. Maybe you're into hiking? Cool! Here are the two hikes you should do when exploring this area:
1# The 5 Lakes Hike
This is an extremely beautiful hike. You will see 5 different mountain lakes, each one special in its colour. To start you hike at Blauherd, you will need to take the cable car from Zermatt to the cable car station called Sunnega. Then take a lift to Blauherd. Before you go, check out the timetable and the prices.
Directions: Blauherd - Leisee - Stellisee - Grindjisee - Grünsee - Moosjiesee - Sunnega
Duration: 2 h 30 min
Difficulty: easy to medium
Highlight: Seeing all these beautiful mountain lakes and the Matterhorn mirror-effect of Matterhorn at Stellisee
Wondering what camera we use to make these photos? Here's the link.
2# The Hörnlihütte Hike
Another panorama hike in the Zermatt area is the one taking you to the Hörnlihütte (English: Hörnli Hut). Take the cable car to the end station - Schwarzsee (English: Schwarz Lake). Take a photo of it and continue the trail to the top. Before you go, check out the timetable and the prices.
Directions: Schwarzsee - Hörnlihütte - Schwarzsee
Duration: 2 h 15 min
Difficulty: difficult
Highlight: Being so close to Matterhorn, spectacular views over the Zermatt valley
So, what are you waiting for? Zermatt is calling you! :)

Hello! Thanks for your tips! Wondering whether it's possible to do these hikes in Mid - late march? :)

This was a great post. I ended up doing the hike in mid-October and was able to get to just below the Hornlihutte, though there was too much ice on the trail so did maybe like 97% of it. The one suggestion I have for our post is to mention about the Matterhorn Glacier Trail. It links up with the Hornlihutte trail above Schwarzsee, and is absolutely stunning. It's also fairly easy and connects you with another cable car station (Trocker Steg or something like that). Another option is to take the cable car to Trockner Steg, do the Matterhorn Glacier Trail, and then do the Hornlihutte Hike. Interestingly enough, the cable car to Schwarszee was closed during the whole month of October, so I had to hike from Zermatt, which meant far less people trying to attempt it.

When I heard about the POWERFUL SPELL CASTER called Dr Kumar who is giving out the lottery numbers, I was very happy and quickly contacted him for Lottery numbers. I was a poor man and I had no money for food and bills. I was so broke and I needed money urgently. So I contacted the spell caster for the lottery numbers to make me win the lottery. I did all that he told me and I sent him the necessary details. After 24hrs, he finished the spell and he asked me if i was ready to win the mega million and i replied yes am ready and so he sent me the numbers for me to play the Lottery. I was so surprised and shocked when all the numbers strike and I won the Powerball lottery. I almost fainted, I have never won so much money in my lifetime before. I am so happy and I want to say Thank you Dr Kumar for changing my life from poverty to wealth. You can contact Dr Kumar for your lottery numbers on email: spellcasttemple@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2347051705853. He is the only answer to make you win the lottery, Online tips can't make you win but Dr Kumar lottery numbers will make you a millionaire

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

I was doing research on how I can improve my chances of winning the lottery and I came across so many testimonies on a blog saying how Dr Kumar has helped them win the lottery by sending them the winning numbers. I was curious and I thought it was all a joke but I decided to give it a try and see for myself and I contacted this spell caster to know for myself how this works because I have spent a lot buying tickets and I never win. I contacted him and he told me the necessary thing that need to be done and i did it and he told me to wait for 2days and truly he gave me the winning numbers to play the lottery which i did, i got my tickets and play the numbers which Dr Kumar gave to me and i won the sum of $85M(85,000,000USD). I want to let you all know that online tips can not help you win the lottery. Dr Kumar is the only answer of you winning the lottery. Contact him today and get the winning numbers from him..
