Description
"Something for everyone" is the motto on this path. Mountain lovers cannot get enough of the 29 four-thousanders – all soaring into the wide blue sky. Flower lovers are amazed that not only gentians and alpine anemones bloom here. Railway fans take out their cameras to capture the Gornergrat Railway from the best angle.
