Description
The 15 to 20-minute circular walk on the Gornergrat offers an amazing panoramic view over the surrounding peaks. The start and finish are on the viewing platform behind the 3100 Kulmhotel. You see the Monte-Rosa massif with its highest Swiss peak, the Dufourspitze. Below you is Gorner glacier, the second-largest in the Swiss Alps. If you’re lucky you might get to see some ibex close up. Take your time on the viewing platform to enjoy the peak-panorama.
