I would appreciate some insight. I’m traveling with someone who had knee replacement 9 months ago: Although surgery was a success, still prefers to do “easy” hike. We’d like to see Riffelsee on way down from Gornergrat. I am looking at the walk from Rotenboden station to Riffelsee then back to Rotenboden for return to Zermatt. Suggestions/advise?
Many Thanks.
Can't comment on the actual hike, but, it's on Google Maps and you can follow the entire
path visually online to get an idea of how difficult it is vis-a-vis your friend's confidence
level.
I would say that hiking poles might be worth considering if there is any doubt about the
hike.
There appear to be multiple options for the hike, so you might email or stop by the tourist
office for additional advice, and many bloggers have written posts about the hike, and they
imply it's pretty easy.
