Zermatt Ski Itinerary

Hi we are planning our ski itinerary for Zermatt for next week. We can really only ski for 2 days, maybe 2 and a half if necessary. We are intermediate skiers and can handle reds, but preferably blues. We also would like to go down scenic routes if possible. If anyone can help choose what areas to go to and if possible which pistes? Thanks

Day 1, train up to Gornergrat (first train is at 08:00) and ski the blue runs down to Riffelberg, towards lunch time take piste 29 to Gant and take the new chairlift up to Blauherd then ski down to Findeln for lunch at the Findlerhof (you will have to book). After lunch take the lifts back up to Blauherd and the cable car up to Rothorn, ski down to Kumme and then take piste 11 back to Blauherd and ski around there for the rest of the afternoon at the end of the day take the Sunnegga funicular back to Zermatt. If you must ski down take runs 2 and 2a.

Day 2, Cervinia Matterhorn express (opens at 08:30) to Trockener Steg and then the cable car up to the Kleine Matterhorn, take the lift up to viewing platform. Then ski down to Testa Grigia and on to Cime Bianche (7 & 35) and down to Salette. After that go back up to Cime Bianche and down 7 to Cervinia, from there take the gondola up to Plan Maison and then the chairlift. Lunch at Chalet Etoile on piste 4 ski around in that sector in the afternoon and take the chairlifts up to the Theodulpass to get back to the Zermatt (keep an eye on the time, last lift from Plan Maison is at 15:45). Take the gondola back down to Zermatt from Trockener Steg of if your still feeling fit from Furgg. If that sounds a bit too much leave out the runs to Salette and carry on down 7 to Cervinia.

If the weather forecast is better for day one than for day two go to Cervinia on day 1.
