We will get up early and visit the Stellisee for the second time to photograph the sunrise and capture the iconic Matterhorn reflections. After the first session of the day, we will return to the Fluhalp for breakfast and to rest a bit if necessary.
During the day, we will hike a round trip to scout out the area and do some travel style photography. If we get lucky, there is also a chance of wildlife. Eespecially the marmots might be out, so keep your long lens at hand ;-)
Starting above the Fluhalp and hiking towards the Findel glacier (don’t worry, we will only admire it from a safe distance), we will walk a section of the 5 Lakes Trail to visit the Grindjisee and have a lunch break there. Depending on weather and motivation, we can continue the route towards the Grünsee or do the shortcut to return to our accommodation via Stellisee. Distance and walking time will depend strongly on the route, but be prepared for at least 4 hours of hiking.
If you decide to bring a laptop or iPad to edit your photos during the trip, we will find some time for editing tips and to review your images during the afternoon. Please keep in mind that any device you bring on the trip will be additional weight in your backpack for the hiking at the beginning and especially at the end of the trip when we descend back down to Zermatt (see day 3). Even if having a big screen is nice, we will surely find a way to evaluate your pictures on your camera screen so you can save some weight, so please think carefully if bringing an extra device is necessary for you.
After having dinner at the Fluhalp, we will go out for our second sunset shooting. The location will be determined based on your preferences during the day.
Optional: Again, depending on weather and motivation after a full day outside, we might stay out for night photography.
