The Europaweg between Grächen and Zermatt
The Europaweg trail between Grächen and Zermatt is considered by many to be the most beautiful 2-day hike in the Alps. The views along this mountain panorama including the Matterhorn are famous around the world. These breathtakingly stunning views of nature were used as reference points by those responsible for mapping out the path in the villages of St. Niklaus, Grächen, Randa, Täsch and Zermatt to create the Europaweg in 1997. The trail extends from Grächen via Gasenried to Herbriggen. From there it continues upwards to the Europa Hut above Randa. The path then continues in the direction of Täschalp and finally to Zermatt.
