This is a scenic spot accessible by cable car from Zellmatt. Unfortunately, the cable car to Blauherd was closed due to a rockslide, but the trek to Lake Leisee and Lake Mosche was pleasant, surrounded by fields of beautifully blooming alpine flowers. There's a heart-shaped monument at Zunnegg, so taking a photo of the Matterhorn there makes a great keepsake. Along the way, we encountered a group of Schwarzhalsziege black-necked goats and took a commemorative photo.

Visited on a cloudy day in May when it didn't seem worth it to spend the money to go up the Gornergrat. The view was still pretty cool and reasonably priced with the half fare card. Would have been even better if the Matterhorn wasn't being shy.

Great place for hiking. If weather allows you can Matterhorn can be seen from everywhere. Recommend to do the 5-lake hike.

The first station of the cable car. The view here is already very good. Many hiking routes around, but if you’re going for the 5 lakes hike, you should ride up one more station to Blauherd and hike down to Sunnegga.

Great view of the Matterhorn for a slight cheaper mode of transport than the Gornergrat Railway. Frequent arrivals/ departure from either end. Would just be beneficial if it ran a little later. We thoroughly enjoyed the mode of transport and the view!

Short funicular ride but quite expensive. Sometimes you get a good view of the Matterhorn but it’s never guaranteed. Nice restaurant at top for a rosti. Lovely walk down to zermatt

Short funicular ride that with 50% discount with Swiss pass. Pretty good view of the Matterhorn. There is a hiking trail that you can go down if you prefer to do 1 way funicular up. It takes about 2.5 hrs, thru jungle and rocky steps. Nice view though. You can see the lake at the bottom, if you are lucky, you can see the reflection of the Matterhorn mountain in the water.

Epic beautiful hike to lake and close up view of the glacier. Consistent Matterhorn views the entire hike. Be prepared to pay extra fare although discounted to get to the top, even with all the passes. (Swiss travel pass, half fare card and Jungfrau pass)
