Misused as the motif for countless countryside calendars, famous due to thousands of films, emblems and Swiss stickers and labels, but despite or perhaps because of all of this, the Matterhorn continues to remain the archetypal mountain. Actually seeing the world-famous pyramid of rock in front of you is always a fascinating experience. The mountain is particularly impressive on the short tour from fashionable Zermatt up through the Findeltal to the popular Riffelalp. The low asphalt factor and pleasant paths round off the great biking experience of this tour.
