Täschalp 2157m – Täschhütte 2701m – Mellichbach – Täschalp
Philippe was looking for a less touristy hike around the bustling town of Zermatt. After enjoying a peaceful trek from Täschalp the previous day, where we encountered only a handful of other hikers, we decided to explore the quieter trails around Täsch.
Exploring Täschalp to Zermatt: Stunning Views Await
Täschalp 2157m – Tuftern – Sunnegga – Findeln – Winkelmatten 1672m
Philippe and I had walked this trail a few years ago when I did the famous Haute Route. Back then, we hiked all the way from Täsch (1449m) up to Täschalp (2157m), and it was seriously tough! This time, though, we took the Alpen bus, and in just 20 minutes, we were at the top without breaking a sweat. What a difference!

Trockener Steg 2939m – Schwarzsee 2583m (Matterhorn Glacier Trail) – Stafel – Zmutt – Winkelmatten 1615m
It was freezing today, hovering around 0 degrees, when we set off on our hike. My hands and feet were instantly cold, and after such a long stretch of warm summer weather, the sudden drop in temperature really caught us off guard. We weren’t exactly prepared for it! There weren’t many other hikers around, probably because of the harsh weather, which gave the trail a quiet and almost eerie atmosphere. The rocky, barren landscape reminded me of a lunar surface, making the experience feel even more special in its own way.

The boat picked us up at Playa Bonita, and after a 40-minute ride on the quiet sea, we arrived at Playa Ermitano 2. As the sun gradually emerged, the day turned into perfection. Despite forgetting the snorkeling gear, we had a wonderful time swimming and playing on the beach.

The day began with a short yet scenic boat ride from Naoshima to Teshima, often regarded as Naoshima’s “little sister.” However, Teshima is much more than a mere counterpart—it offers a unique charm all its own. A convenient bus system allows visitors to journey seamlessly between the island’s various art sites. Unlike traditional galleries or museums, these installations are beautifully integrated into the surrounding natural environment. The Japanese concept of “borrowing scenery,” often employed in temple gardens, is masterfully embodied here.

These gates, donated by individuals and businesses, symbolize wishes for prosperity and success. We started quite early in the morning to avoid the crowds and embarked on the scenic hike through the torii-lined trails to explore the smaller shrines and enjoy panoramic views of Kyoto.
