Enjoy the hike from Riffelalp down to Winkelmatten. The atmosphere on the way through the shady pine and larch forest has a calming effect on people. With a bit of luck, you might even see a deer in the game reserve. The Swiss stone pine, also called <Queen of>, is as much a part of the Zermatt landscape as the Matterhorn and the glaciers.

Note(s)
- Not suitable for prams, as some parts are somewhat steeper.
- Hiking poles are recommended.
