Travel Guide
The Stellisee is located in one of the most beautiful and well-known areas of Switzerland. The region around Zermatt features a diverse mountainous landscape with breathtaking mountain panoramas. Among the area’s highlights are other stunning mountain lakes like Riffelsee and Grindjisee.
The view from Stellisee is truly unique. Images of the lake with the perfect reflection of the Matterhorn in its calm waters are world-famous. It’s definitely worth hiking up early in the morning for sunrise or in the evening for sunset. You’ll also get to enjoy the beautiful golden light on the magical landscape.
Stellisee has something to offer in every season. In winter, you can admire the snowy Alpine panorama, while in spring, you can delight in rare Alpine flowers. The lake shore is decorated with cotton grass, which dots the green meadows with white. You can also find the unique Valais Blacknose sheep in the region.
The Stellisee is easily accessible via various paths. The lake is great integrated into the hiking and mountain biking network of the region.
Various hikes lead past Lake Stelli.
Zermatt - Sunnegga - Blauherd - Stellisee
The easiest way to get to the lake is by taking the train from Zermatt. You start by taking the funicular from Zermatt to Sunnegga. From there, a gondola will take you to the "Blauherd" station. Here, the short walk to the lake begins. The entire route takes about 15 to 20 minutes and is easy to manage for any fitness level.
Blauherd - Stellisee - Grindjisee - Grünsee - Moosjisee - Leisee - Sunnegga
This beautiful five-lake hike takes you past the five most famous lakes in the region. Each lake offers a different view of the surrounding area. In the Stellisee, Grindjisee and Leisee you admire the great Matterhorn reflection in the water. The Leisee and the Grünsee offer great swimming opportunities in summer. On the way you also enjoy a fantastic view of the Findelgletscher moraine. The hike is not particularly challenging and is therefore suitable for children from 6 years.
Lake Stelli can also be visited by mountain bike.
Blauherd - Stellisee - Fluhalp - Grindjisee - Grünsee - Gant - Moosjisee - Findeln - Sunnegga
The mountain bike 4-lakes tour takes you past four beautiful mountain lakes. From the Blauherd station you first go to the Stellisee. Here you can stop at the Fluhalp and enjoy refreshments on the terrace.
Afterwards, the trail leads you to Grindjisee, where you can once again admire a great view of the Matterhorn. The next mountain lake is the Grünsee. In this lake you can see a mirror image of other mighty mountains of the region. Finally, we go to the Moosjisee. This one stands out from the others in terms of color, especially with its milky glacier water.
Since the hiking trail from Blauherd takes only 20 minutes and is not particularly steep, the lake is easily accessible with any fitness level. So even children can come along and enjoy the fresh alpine air. However, the trail is not wheelchair accessible and is also difficult to navigate with strollers.
For all photographers, the lake is an absolute must. The view of the Matterhorn with reflection in the lake is unbeatable. So take your camera and take your own picture of the beautiful view.
