Täsch is just between Zermatt and the lovely village of Randa. Many just use it as a base to go skiing or pass it on the way to Zermatt.
But if you got a little time on your hands, be sure to spend a while here. There is a wonderful trail going along the river. Especially in winter it's a magical place.
Easiest way to access is to walk from the train station a bit north, then there's a small bridge crossing the river near the Camping Site Alphubel.
It's a very easy walk and not really busy at all, which is a surprise because it's a great little walk. It's mostly very flat, so suitable for almost everybody. They take care of this trail very well, it even can be done if you have a stroller with (and a bit extra strength to push).
Follow the trail to the small Schalisee (Lake Schali) where you can cross the bridge and go back to Täsch on the other side. Or just follow the same way back. The trail does continue though. You could walk all the way to Randa.
A beautiful trail through Winterwonderland. A nice and quiet escape from the busy (but fun) streets of Zermatt. read more
