Findeln
A hillside village below Sunnegga, where wooden chalets, larches and the Matterhorn appear together. It has several highly rated mountain restaurants.
Findeln sits on a sunny slope at about 2,050 m and is one of the endpoints of the Five Lakes hike. It is about 30 minutes downhill from the Sunnegga station, followed by roughly an hour on foot back to town. The traditional wooden chalets of the village, with the Matterhorn in the distance, form a classic postcard scene, and it is especially photogenic when the larches turn gold in autumn. Several mountain restaurants, such as Chez Vrony, require reservations in advance, and they are popular in both summer and ski season.
