Europaweg - 2-day hike in the Alps
Grächen – Zermatt
Recommendation: Start the hike before 7am, use the cool morning air to quickly descend 300m from Grächen to Herbriggen.
First place to get food from is after a 3.5 h hike the hotel Bergfreund in Herbriggen.
Take a lot of liquid with you.
Zermatt – Grächen
We suggest taking the Sunnegga train. It takes you from Zermatt (1620m) to Sunnegga (2288m). With that, you’ve managed the biggest ascend.
Last place to get food from is the hotel Bergfreund in Herbriggen, after a 2-2.5 hike leaving the Europahütte.
Take a lot of liquid with you.
