Our day from Blauherd to Sunnegga perfectly blended alpine beauty, adventure, and a touch of Swiss unpredictability. We began on the Crystal Trail, hiking through shifting fog to reach Stellisee, where the clouds briefly lifted to reveal a fleeting but magical Matterhorn reflection before rolling back in. From there, we climbed to Fluhalp, a cozy alpine hut perched above the lake and admired the Matterhorn half-veiled in clouds. We then swapped hiking boots for mountain carts, racing down from Blauherd to Sunnegga in a fast, winding run that felt straight out of Mario Kart. From there, we followed the Gourmet Trail to Chez Vrony for a scenic lunch in furry recliners overlooking alpine meadows and chalets, with the Matterhorn playing hide-and-seek in the clouds. The afternoon brought light rain as we continued along the 5-Lakes Trail, passing Grindjisee, GrĂĽnsee, Moosjisee, and Leisee, where mist softened the turquoise waters and wildflowers shimmered with raindrops. We ended the day with kickbikes from Sunnegga to Zermatt, gliding through forest trails toward the valley. Even with the drizzle, it was a day of lakes, laughter, and unforgettable alpine charm.
