Hinterdorf is the oldest part of Zermatt where you can still find a few of the old wooden houses dating back to the 17th and even 16th century. Among them are warehouses and storage buildings for sausages, bread and dried meat. An old pig sty can be seen as well. Most of the wooden houses were built on supporting posts to keep mice and rats away. Directions: The Hinterdorf is situated in the very heart of Zermatt's city centre. The street with all the historic houses is called Hinterdorfstrasse. Leave a Comment

 | |  |  | My Favorite Hike in Zermatt | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
OK, here's my hike! Before I begin, PLEASE NOTE that this is a moderate to strenuous hike, and takes 4 to 5 hours. As always, be sure you have a map, and check with the tourist office to get advice on the latest trail conditions. If the weather's clear, get an early breakfast and head for the GornergratBahn. Purchase a 1-way ticket to Riffelalp (CHF 17.60, 50% discount with Swisspass or Swiss Card). At Riffelalp station, cross the tracks and exit in the direction your train is going. Then follow the trail and the signs to "Grünsee." After about 45 minutes, you'll find yourself at a house (the Berggasthaus Grünsee) and a lake. From Grünsee, continue on the trail, following the signs to Stellisee. After about 90 minutes, you should be at the Stellisee. If conditions are right, you'll get the "Money Shot"! If you still have energy, continue on and follow the signs to the Unterer Rothorn. After about 90 minutes to 2 hours, you'll arrive at a restaurant. Enjoy the view, have lunch, and take the gondola/alpine subway combination back to Zermatt. If you're tired, follow the signs to Blauherd. From there, you either can take the gondola to up to the Rothorn, or down to Zermatt.

Interesting enough the construction date of the Chapel Z'Mutt is still unknown. The chapel was consecrated to the saint Catherine of Alexandria who is also the saint of the Canton of Valais. The last renovations of the building took place in 1981. It belongs to the Roman Catholic church of Zermatt. Directions: The Chapel Z'Mutt is located right in the heart of Z'Mutt, which is a little hamlet south west of Zermatt's town centre. Leave a Comment
