Trockener Steg

Trockener Steg sits at two thousand nine hundred thirty-nine meters above sea level, perched on a high, rocky ridge between the Theodul Glacier and the steep slopes beneath the Matterhorn. The name translates to dry ridge, describing a landscape that was once an inhospitable glacial moraine before becoming the hub of Zermatt’s alpine transit system. You can identify the station by its position at this transition point, where the solid rock gives way to the snow-covered expanse of the high Alps.
