From Zermatt, you can reach the Hörnlihütte by mountain railroad to Schwarzsee and then via the hut access route through high alpine terrain. For the Ride Check Zermatt, Sandro Schmid and photographer Jan Cadosch drag their mountain bikes up over 700 meters in altitude. With the impressive backdrop and the mighty flank of the Matterhorn in view, the Hörnlihütte, situated at 3247 meters above sea level, seems almost small. It is the starting point for the ascent of the Matterhorn and the subsequent descent down crisp single trails to Zermatt.
