At this point the trail passed along the top of the morraine of the Zmuttgletscher (a morraine, for those who don’t know, being the big pile of rocks pushed out to the side as a glacier passes down a valley - when the glacier melts/retreats, you’re just left with big piles of rocks).
Unfortunately there’s nothing in the photo to provide any scale. So you’ll have to take my word for it (or go to Zermatt and look yourself) when I say that the slope on the right down to the valley floor is about 200 feet high! So you wouldn’t want to tumble off the trail at this point if you could possibly avoid it.
