Thursday - The sun is out properly today and I was going to try to reprise my walk to the Hornlihutte from a couple of years ago. In this photo, the Hornlihutte is somewhere behind that small peak just to the left of the Matterhorn. The last (and only) time I was at the Hornlihutte, it was cloudy and snowing a bit and I couldn’t see anything of the Matterhorn itself. Hopefully the views would be somewhat better today.
Also, just to make it a bit harder, I was going to try to walk there directly from Zermatt, whilst on my previous visit I started out by getting the cablecar up to Schwarzee, which chopped some 3,200 feet off the distance I’d need to climb, reducing it from around 5,500 feet to a mere 2,300 feet. On this day I was going to try for the whole, full-fat 5,500 feet.
