    Hello

    Just coming to the end of our stay in Brienz and moving on to St Niklaus near Zermatt. My son particularly enjoyed a day doing the Grindelwald First activities and wondering if anyone can suggest anything similar in the Zermatt or Valais area? Already planning the Glacier Paradise and Gornergrat.Thanks. o

    Hi Dendandshazza!

    There are plenty of mountain bike routes in the Zermatt area. A well-known starting point is Sunnegga. There’s also a kickbike descent available there.

    But you won’t get bored visiting just Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn/Glacier Paradise. Consider the “Crystal Ride” in cabins with glass floors and summer snowtubing at Klein Matterhorn. Please refer to myswissalps.com/gorner grat and myswissalps.com/kleinm atterhorn for more information.

    Have fun!

    Thanks the snow tubing sounds the sort of thing my son would like. Anything like that is good.
