Initially the moraine was a couple of hundred feet above the trail, but as the trail climbed, the crest of the moraine got progressively closer. After about 20 minutes it was only about fifty feet above me, so I scrambled to the top for a look at the view.
The Matterhorn, as ever, was clearly visible in the distance, with the restaurant Fluealp visible below it to the right.
Although I'd only had to scramble up around fifty feet of rocky slope to get to the top of the moraine, there was an impressive drop of two or three hundred feet down the other side. As I was basically just balanced on an enormous pile of rocks, I didn’t hang around for too long.
