Swiss Tour Monte Rosa
A high-altitude panoramic traverse linking Saas-Fee to Zermatt, the route strings together views of 13 four-thousanders visible from Saas-Fee alone, threading the steep flanks of the Mischabel group along the Europaweg before crossing the 500 m Charles Kuonen suspension bridge — the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge — with the Matterhorn waiting at the far end.
-
Gamsweg
A descending mountain path through one of Switzerland's largest wildlife reserves, where chamois — mothers with grown kids, young bucks, or whole herds — graze along rocky ledges and alpine meadows, sometimes lying so still against the terrain that only a patient, unhurried gaze will find them. Edelweiss grows along the way.

Geisstrift - Europahütte
The trail climbs from Randa to the Europahütte at 2220 m, a hut built in 1999 by the Burgergemeinde Randa that sits directly on the Europaweg — the high route threading the rocky flanks of the Mattertal between Grächen and Zermatt. From the hut's large sun terrace, a sweeping panoramic view opens across the valley.
