we are now approaching Riffelberg, our 2nd stop.
- Role: journey waypoint
- In the video: At 2,583 metres, with “one of the most nice view of the Matterhorn”. The narrator says it is home to one of Europe’s oldest mountain hotels, dating from 1854, and points out the Riffelberg Express cable car up from Furi, about seven minutes.
- Why it matters: A middle stop on the ride to the Gornergrat, given a few lines of its own.
