Create an itinerary including Viewpoint Kirchbrucke bridge
Spanning over a mountain stream, Viewpoint Kirchbrucke bridge offers unobstructed views of the legendary Matterhorn. Pack your camera and get there early in the morning, since the spot is quite popular with tourists and gets easily crowded. You can go down a stairway to get closer to the waterway, but the upper level of the bridge provides better photo opportunities. The play of light and color is most beautiful with the first and the last rays of sunlight. The entire village is a pedestrian zone perfect for strolling around. For Viewpoint Kirchbrucke bridge and beyond, use our Zermatt trip builder tool to get the most from your Zermatt vacation.

    If you have a clear day this is a good spot to get a nice photo of the Matterhorn. Even if it’s not the nice out you can see the origin of the river that spills through town.
