As it was still only late afternoon, I decided to have a quick go on the short trail up to Edelweiss. It may only be a short trail (it’s pretty much exactly one mile from Zermatt’s high street to Edelweiss), but the trail rises just over 1,100 feet in that distance, making it a reasonable/significant effort if you’re giving it beans.
On my way from our hotel to the start of the trail, I was treated to this magnificent view of the Matterhorn from the bridge in the center of town.
