Stage 11 - Gruben to St Niklaus


Thursday 25th August 2016

16km, 1072m height gain, 1767m height loss, 7hrs 30mins walking

Once again we knew today would be tough so we left at 7am. We arrived at Augustbordpass (2894m) by 10am. This was faster than estimated in the guide book which we were pleased about. Shows we are getting fitter. As we descended we got views of the Zermatt valley for the first time as well as some of the highest peaks we had seen. Caught the cable car from Jungen to St Niklaus  thus saving 880m of the descent. Stayed in Hotel la Reserve.
