Off The Beaten Path: Ricola Herb Garden
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • In the little village of Blatten, a short hike from Zermatt, is a little patch of grass with all the famous herbs used in manufacturing the famous Ricola herb candies. To be honest I actually thought they produced it there, but it turned out to be a cute little garden with some information on Ricola and the benefits of the various herbs used.

    No payment required to visit.

  • I love marmots... and was a tad disappointed that we didn't see lots of them during our hikes (I think we spotted just about 3 or 4 of them during our walks).

    Then we went to the Marmot Observation post at the Sunegga skifield. In a bunch of rocks was a whole colony of marmots who pop out and sunbathe then scamper away at the slightest noise. And then come out again. Honestly, I could spend hours just watching them.

     Have been here a couple times but never in the snow in town. It was fun to read your experiences with skiing. You'll be an expert skier in short time.
