Hi Pravin S!

Correct, the Stellisee is at a 20 minutes walk from Blauherd. You can check prices through http://www.myswissalps.com/sunneggarothorn/tickets. Your Swiss Travel Pass gets you 50% off. It’s (partly) visible at the validity map at myswissalps.com/swisst ravelpass/validity if you zoom in at the area south-east of Zermatt. The discount is also mentioned below the price overview I linked to.

An alternative for Matterhorn photography would be the Riffelsee along the Gornergrat railway line (myswissalps.com/gorner grat). This hike might interest you: myswissalps.com/hiking /rotenboden-riffelalp.

Hey Annika,

Thanks. Consider myself lucky enough to receive feedback from one of the co-founder of MySwissAlp 🙂 Must say this a very great initiative started by you & it is very helpful for people like us 🙂

I will plan Stellisee since I will be travelling from Thun which should ideally take 4 hrs (to n fro) so hike would be bit tedious but still thanks for suggesting an alternative. Cheers.

Regards,

Pravin
