Findelbach mountain station

Photo: Zermatt - Matterhorn
The stop of Findelbach (1,774 m) on the Gornergrat Bahn cog railway is handy for many hikers: in particular, for those setting off up the mountain from Winkelmatten, and for anyone walking down who prefers to ride the last stretch into the resort centre.
Findelbach station is a popular starting point in summer for tranquil walks through the forest towards Riffelalp (2,211 m). Larches dominate the forest. Passengers riding from Zermatt as far as Findelbach gain about 150 vertical metres.
