About the trail
SchweizMobil local hiking route 186, the 5-Lakes Trail above Zermatt, from Blauherd (2,579 m) past Stellisee, Grindjisee, Grünsee, Moosjisee and Leisee to Sunnegga (2,301 m). Official federal Wanderland geometry: 11.3 km measured (operator publishes 11 km rounded), about 3 h 15 min, +371 m / -649 m, medium technique on mountain hiking trails. Three of the lakes reflect the Matterhorn. Reach the start by the Sunnegga funicular and Blauherd gondola; check summer timetables and current trail conditions before setting off, as snow can linger at this altitude early and late in the season.
