I meet Judith for a drink at Sunnega, after which she decides to get the funnicular back to the hotel, while I opt to walk the 2,000 feet-or-so down to Zermatt. The first bit of the trail is tricky as it actually runs along one of the pistes for a couple of hundred metres. The rest is pretty easy going and largely free from snow and ice.
When I get back to the hotel, we decide to try to get the new Matterhorn Express cable car up to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. We get as far as Trockener Steg before giving up. It's getting fairly late in the afternoon and we don't want to risk missing the last cable cars back down (because that's a bit of a pain, isn't it Mike?).
This is a photo looking towards Zermatt from Trockener Steg. We get the Matterhorn Express back down to Schwarzsee Paradise, before switching to the newly built cable car to Riffelberg. From here we get the train back into town.
