Face to face with the Matterhorn from Rotenboden to the Riffelalp

A pleasant hike starting at the Gornergrat railway station at Rotenboden (2,815m) to Riffelalp (2,211m).  The path takes walkers past the Riffelsee lake with its incomparable reflection of the Matterhorn and, in the lower part of the hike, diverse alpine flora.
