Blauherd can be reached
by underground
to
Sunnegga and a following cabin lift - or by a cabin lift
from
Gant. There
some interesting slopes here, especially that one called
FIS
National
1, that provides some impressive parts, steep and fast. When all
cable
cars and lifts are closed because of wind and snow blocks the train to
Gornergrat, the underground to Sunnegga offers you a last chance for
skiing,
what we actually did once.

Music once again: End of season at Blauherd. This
year downhill Zermatt is not passable, so we have a last drink at the
bar.
Meanwhile the kids have their own entertainment, listening to the songs
and building palm-trees from snow.
Last
year the kids did enjoy the evenings when we went down to Zermatt
through
the woods, sitting for one last hour on the terrasse of the
Olympia
Stübli, listening to musicians or a one man band in the last
charming
rays of a setting sun...
Patrullarve
Patrullarve is a chair-lift station at an altitude
of about 2000 m. This means more than 1000 m
of skiing down from Rothorn - and 500 m from Blauherd,
where
the chair-lift ends. You are free to chose difficult slopes like the
FIS-National
or
easy ones like
no. 2a that passes by Sunnegga. At
Patrullarve starts the slope that leads straight to Zermatt, however,
there is one last chance to stop by for a beer or two at the
Olympia
Stübli. If this slope is icy it means
death
to the snowboarder. If it is soft and wavy it probably kills the
skiers.
What so ever, a beautiful scenery will accompany you on your way along
the forest trail, old trees and steady rocks and the unique silhouette
of the Matterhorn, that gave birth to this marvelous skiing area.
