One of the most scenic spots you can reach from Zermatt.
By cable car, by bike and on foot.

Furi

Highlight • Settlement

Cattle were grazed here centuries ago. Today, Furi is an adventure world for the whole family. There are still cows and sheep, but also a glacier garden and playgrounds. Restaurants and a hotel invite you to linger on Furi.

"The Mountain of Mountains, the Horu"

Weather: nice / +25°C

The "short trip" to Zermatt, in the canton of Valais, was the birth of a new wonderful memory. It was my first time cycling in Zermatt. When I arrived in the car-free mountain village, I paused for a moment and took my time to settle in. I …

Normal people can't get any closer to the Matterhorn than on this tour😊.
The climb to Schwarzsee was extremely steep in parts and couldn't even be ridden with an e-bike, but we were able to enjoy many marmots, chamois and a weasel. But there would also be an easier option via the Staffelalp😉.
From Schwarzsee we continued on foot to …

Today we leave with a full battery from the BikeArena towards Winkelmatten up to the Furi.
I choose the forest road because I still want to “work out” the engine performance level. For a change, from Schweigmatten up the steep ramp to Riffelalp to the start of the flow trail end back to Schweigmatten. The path uphill is very dry, …

At the foot of the Matterhorn...with the destination Hörnlihütte, but unfortunately the rock step at around 3,000m on the N side was already covered in snow and the path was icy. So not possible with the MTB 🥲...but it was still nice
🤩🥳🤤
We covered around 900hm with the Schwarzseebahn 🫢😎
The high-altitude trail via Zmutt and Herbrig to Zermatt …

Arrived in Zermatt with my ♥️ and already completed the first tour. We struggled up the hiking trail to Furi. The road would have been a better option. After a cake break, the gradient was somewhat more moderate. From Stafelalp, it was a constant 15-18% gradient. After a short, flatter section, there were a few more climbs up to Schwarzsee. …

Day 1
After a leisurely journey to Zermatt with too much sitting, finally hop on the bike.
With the best woman in the world, renewed courage and full bottles, we head up the hiking trail towards Furi. 🥵OK, I don't know the route yet, it's midday and the slopes are so piste-like. My sweetheart cooks 😡 without a kitchen and …

I got myself into something... that's what happens when you're not careful when planning the route. Quickly checked a few tours at Zermatt.ch and did some more rounds in Komoot.. and then it went brutally uphill and even more brutally downhill... I survived it, WITHOUT a fall this time... the mountain panorama was worth it to me. Let's see what's …
