Riffelsee Lake Walk
Rotenboden to Riffelberg, Switzerland
Riffelsee is famous for reflecting the Matterhorn when the water is still. Reach the area by the Gornergrat Railway, leaving the train at Rotenboden for a walk past the lake towards Riffelberg. The route also passes a smaller lake and opens up further mountain views, making it more rewarding than a single photo stop. Choose a calm day during the walking season and allow extra time to linger, rather than treating the published walking time as a deadline.
