Black-nosed sheep - Hiking with GPS

Our beautiful black-nosed sheep - true Zermatters - are sure to make your heart beat faster! Especially when you meet them in the wild, where they feel most at home. It's hard to decide whether the animals are just incredibly cute or rather really imposing. It's probably both, because the white fur with black spots and the googly eyes contrast with the impressive, spiral horns.

From July to September, the "black noses" graze at the foot of the Matterhorn on the Gornergrat. Would you like to pay them a visit? That's no problem! To make it easy for you to find the animals, they wear collars with GPS tracking. Use the app to locate the sheep's signal and follow the path. The shepherd, who accompanies the flock throughout the summer and looks forward to your visit on the Gornergrat, will also be happy to answer any questions you may have about the animals.

You can find more information about "Meet the Sheep" here.

With our "Black Nose Sheep" package, we offer you the unique opportunity to combine two overnight stays, culinary delights, relaxation in the wellness area and a visit to the sheep.

The shepherd is on site for explanations from Tuesdays to Sundays from 1.30 to 3.00 pm.
