The trail to the Schönbiel hut is full of variety; the<br />
view from the hut of the north face of the Matterhorn<br />
is breathtaking.<br />
The name says it all. In the Zermatt dialect, Schönbiel<br />
means “beautiful small plateau on a mound". From the<br />
mound on which the Schönbiel hut stands, the view of<br />
the Matterhorn is unforgettable, like in a dream. And as<br />
happ<strong>en</strong>s in dreams, the mood can change dramatically:<br />
dep<strong>en</strong>ding on weather, the mighty Matterhorn with its<br />
soaring north face can sudd<strong>en</strong>ly seem distinctly scary.<br />
The path to the hut leads across a great variety of<br />
mountain landscapes: t<strong>en</strong>ded alpine pastures, the<br />

and season.<br />
Weather conditions can change quickly in the<br />
mountains. Appropriate clothing is therefore<br />
ess<strong>en</strong>tial, along with adequate supplies of food<br />

good time.<br />
Inform others of planned route, and wh<strong>en</strong>ever<br />
possible avoid going alone.<br />
Do not leave the marked routes; do not v<strong>en</strong>ture<br />
onto glaciers without a mountain guide.<br />
