5-Seenweg

Five lakes above Zermatt, walked down from Blauherd to Sunnegga. The Matterhorn stands opposite the whole way and is reflected in three of them — Stellisee first and best, in the early morning before the wind gets up. The others are Grindjisee, Grünsee, Moosjisee and Leisee, each a different colour from what the glacier above it carries.
