Events calendar

Experience how the first rays of sun slowly turn the imposing mountain peaks reddish. How the Matterhorn reaches out towards the sun. And how peaceful and tranquil the alpine meadows lie in between. Enjoy watching the spectacle at Lake Stelli, where the Matterhorn is reflected on windless days.

Afterwards, a hearty breakfast full of regional and home-made specialties awaits you in the Fluhalp mountain restaurant.

Getting up early can be so nice!
