As the crowning glory of my mountain bike vacations in Zermatt, I do an evening ride from the Gornergrat down to Zermatt. In my opinion, this is one of the best tours Zermatt has to offer. While there are many hikers during the day, there is hardly anyone on the trail in the evening.

    The descent is a total of 1400 meters. On the Gornergrat you are surrounded by an incredible panorama of glaciers and mountains. The descent is on great trails, with technical and flowing passages. And of course, there is always the view of the Matterhorn.

    1. Ah remember these trails well! Rode them in the mid 2000's. We used to ride in the evening also. Pretty much everyone we met were cool about us riding down, except the Germans, they always shouted at us 🙁

    2. Hey Robin! love your vids, especially this one. Do you think you can guide me through this trail in June 26/27 2022? I'll be renting a mountain bike. let me know!

    3. Epic trail! are there many different options from the top? I'd want a double down rear tire for sure there.

    4. Why have I not found your channel before?! Love your videos. I actually just got back from a business trip to Lucerne, Switzerland. I stayed a few more days in Bulle where my uncle lives. Went mountain biking in Lezin, but it was DH. There's mountains everywhere… So I didn't know where to start.
