This is the full run from Schwartsee (2583m) down the Schwartsee Ridge and into Furi (1867m) and then on to Zermatt (1655) - yes that's 928m descent on mostly singletrack - and this isn't even one of the most popular trails in the area.
There is combined footage from two very differen runs: the first; our first run on our first day in the mist, and the second the next day on a lovely blue sky day in late July.
In this series of videos there is a Zermatt MTB overview as well as full POV videos from a variety of trails above Zermatt.
This is one of a set of POV films from around the town of Zermatt high in the Swiss alps. Trails are a mix of purpose built trails and paths indicated as bike routes, and just mountain trails.
On one week in late July 2024 we spent 3 days riding the best trails around Zermatt, and around Aletsch - these are the Zermatt Trails.
The trip was built around 2 photos: one of riding with the Matterhorn in the background and one of riding high above a Glacier. This trip was about visiting these places, and riding the best trails we could find. Zermatt totally came through on the plan - with the Matterhorn initially covered in cloud, soon making a surprise appearance, and looming over us for the remainder of our time there - Aletsch likewise gave us awesome riding and lots of Glacier.
In nature the Zermatt trails are more flowy, with a few notable exceptions and if you want the views as well, then Zermatt is your place. Aletsch gave us views galore, but the trails were definitely in two tiers, with mountain trails and views on the top tier and EWS worthy steep gnarr for 1000m on the lower tier - if gnarly is your thing, then you should definitely check out the Aletsch collection.
