Wet & cloudy at first so went to museum. However cleared mid morning so dashed up in gondola to try walk to Hornlie hut. 2/3 up ridge started to snow & decided best to retreat, so this is as close as I got to the Matterhorn.
Finally, approach Zermatt. Drop down through Sunnegga ski area & some alpine houses to town. Zermatt is bustling. Great to complete the trek but a real contrast from some of the peaceful & isolated places have stayed in over the past days.
Pass through a tunnel at one point & under these sections to protect from falling rocks. Otherwise a pleasant walk with great views up valley towards Zermatt.
Cross another steel bridge where a rock fall has destroyed the path. This one has Tibetan style prayer flags on it which isn't very reassuring, but is quite secure.
Reach the hut at last, perched on stilts on the hillside. Spectacular location, straight across from the Weisshorn, Sitting on terrace with a beer, enjoying the superlative view.
