Hikers in Trockener Steg

Trockener Steg, at 2,939 metres, has a very special meaning for visitors to the Matterhorn paradise. It is a pivotal point where different worlds meet and mingle. In summer the ski pistes end there and the hiking trails begin. Skiers and hikers cross paths. And the view reaches from Mattertal to the heights of the Matterhorn.And why is that? Because Trockener Steg is the boarding point for the cable car that brings you up to Matterhorn glacier paradise. Way up to Matterhorn glacier paradise, to Europe’s highest mountain station at 3,883 metres. Even better: from winter 2018/19, the ultramodern 3S cableway will carry even more visitors at record speeds up to the popular peak.

Looks pretty barren in this area, but still a stunning image of the mountain. V
