Day 5 (and last) was a short one. My friends need to drive back to the Netherlands, so it was only a hike down to Schwarzee, where we took the cable car to Zermatt.
Before breakfast we were able to find some head lights on the Matterhorn, but as it was already quite bright, that did not last long. On our way down, I wanted to get a picture of the bivouac hut on the ridge. Only after zooming in I saw there were quite some climbers in that area. Did not see them at all with my bear eyes.
Now it is time for some rest and getting ready for Saturday (6-day hike and last long one of the season).

Day 3 started with the same blue skies of the first two. There is nothing better than stable weather in the mountains. We hiked the Pfulwe-pass that appeared to be closed due to rockfall (see https://mountains.social/@bergmeister/117213359079450510), so that was very unfortunate. Luckily nothing happened.
On both sides of the pass we encountered multiple ibex. We were quiet, they were quiet, we seemed to respect each other.
Highlight was of course coming over the pass and see the unbelievable mountain panorama: Monte Rosa, Breithorn, Klein Matterhorn, Matterhorn, Zinalhorn under blue skies.
