Grok and enhancement. My Silkie chickens 1 with a twisted leg and Twisted Sister lettering by Arahnia
The big bull wood bison trudged through the snow-laden forest, his massive hooves crunching the frozen crust underfoot. Night had fallen over the northern wilds, cloaking the pines in shadow, but the sky blazed with ethereal light. Overhead, the aurora borealis shimmered—curtains of green and violet rippling across the heavens, casting a ghostly glow on the bison’s shaggy coat. His breath puffed out in thick clouds, mingling with the icy air as he lowered his head to paw at the snow, seeking the buried sedges beneath.
The wind whispered through the trees, carrying the distant howl of a wolf, but the bison stood unperturbed, his bulk a fortress against the night. His dark eyes glinted in the aurora’s reflection, ancient and , resolute, as if he bore the history of centuries in his bones. The herd had scattered earlier, seeking shelter, but he lingered here, solitary beneath the cosmic dance. Snowflakes dusted his shaggy coat, sparkling like stars against the dark fur. For a moment, he lifted his head, horns cutting the sky, and let out a low, resonant grunt—a primal sound swallowed by the vastness. Above, the northern lights pulsed, a silent symphony to his legacy.

Thank you in advance for the favs, the comments, and the group invites. It means a lot!
In the cove where waves embrace,
My heart finds its happy place.
Sand soft beneath the sun’s warm glow,
Whispers of peace where wild winds blow.
Tides sing low, a soothing tune,
Starlight dances with the moon.
In this haven, cares erase,
The beach cove, my sacred space.

Hecho con Grok, la IA de Twitter. La Galaxia de Andrómeda acercándose a la Vía Láctea y el Sol a punto de convertirse en gigante roja.
Under a huge moon hanging low in the icy sky, the snow glittered like scattered stars across the forest floor. Three gray wolf pups tumbled out of their den, their breath puffing in excited clouds. The night was still, save for the crunch of their paws and their excited yips echoing through the pines.
In the distance, a shadow moved—graceful, deliberate. Their mother emerged from the trees, her thick coat shimmering in the moonlight. The pups bounded toward her, tails wagging like metronomes, their playful yips and whines filling the air. She lowered her head, nuzzling each one, her warm tongue brushing away the snow clinging to their faces. They pressed close, a tangle of fur and love, their soft whimpers a song of welcome.
For a moment, the cold world softened. The wind sighed through the branches, and the mega-moon watched over the reunion, bathing the little family in pale, tender light.

Overview
Riffelhorn is a prominent mountain peak in the Swiss Alps, renowned for its accessibility, stunning panoramic views, and excellent rock climbing opportunities. It serves as an ideal training ground for climbers preparing for more challenging ascents like the Matterhorn, thanks to its stable rock formations and alpine setting. The peak is part of the Gornergrat ridge and offers a mix of hiking, mountaineering, and multi-pitch climbing routes suitable for various skill levels.
Location and Geography
Riffelhorn is located in the Pennine Alps (also known as the Valais Alps) in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, just south of the famous resort town of Zermatt. It stands at an elevation of 2,928 meters (9,606 feet), making it a high-alpine feature that provides an authentic mountain atmosphere without requiring extreme technical difficulty to approach. The mountain is situated between two iconic peaks: the Matterhorn (Cervin) to the west and the Monte Rosa massif to the east, overlooking the Gorner Glacier to the south. On its northern side lies the picturesque Riffelsee, a small alpine lake famous for reflecting the east face of the Matterhorn— a popular spot for photographers. The rock type is primarily serpentinite gneiss (a red antigorite variety), which is hard, grippy, and generally stable, making it excellent for climbing. The south face rises impressively about 400 meters with a large central couloir, while the north face is less dramatic but still offers routes.
Access and How to Get There
The easiest way to reach Riffelhorn is via the Gornergrat Railway (Gornergratbahn), a scenic cogwheel train that departs from Zermatt and ascends to Gornergrat at 3,089 meters. Key stations include : Riffelberg (2,582 m): Starting point for some easier approaches.
Rotenboden (2,815 m): The most common access point, just a 15-20 minute walk from the base of the east ridge. From here, follow marked paths around the east end of the ridge.
Gornergrat (3,089 m): Ideal for descent hikes or starting panoramic trails that pass by the peak.
The railway operates year-round, with fares starting around CHF 114 for a round trip from Zermatt (reductions available with Swiss travel passes). No car access is possible in Zermatt, as it's a car-free zone. The area is well-marked with trails, but visitors should prepare for rocky, exposed terrain and carry sun protection, water, and appropriate gear, especially in summer when exposure to the sun is high.
Hiking and Trails
Riffelhorn is a highlight on many hiking routes in the Zermatt region, offering breathtaking views of over 20 x four-thousand high peaks (Peaks above 4,000 m), including Breithorn, Castor, Pollux, and Lyskamm.
Popular trails include : Panoramic Trail (Swiss Topwalk: Gornergrat – Rotenboden – Riffelberg): A 4.2 km easy loop with 39 m elevation gain, rated 4.8/5 stars on AllTrails. It offers prime views of Riffelhorn and the surrounding glaciers.
Gornergrat – Riffelsee – Riffelalp: A challenging 10-12 km descent (or loop) with 1,500+ m elevation change, passing the reflective Riffelsee and Gletschergarten (Glacier Garden). Rated 4.8/5 stars; takes 4-6 hours.
Riffelberg – Riffelhorn Base – Riffelsee – Gornergrat: A moderate 5-7 km circuit through open alpine meadows and rocky sections, with birdwatching opportunities and Matterhorn reflections. Suitable for families or beginners, but includes some steep, sunny exposed areas.
There are 28 trails in the vicinity (26 hiking, 13 running, 5 backpacking), ranging from easy (3 routes) to difficult (24 routes). The longest is Riffelalp to Monte Rosa Hut (23.5 km), while the most elevation gain is on Zermatt – Riffelberg – Gornergrat – Hohtälli (1,685 m). Trails are well-reviewed for their scenery, but weather can change rapidly—check forecasts and avoid if thunderstorms are possible.
Climbing Routes
Riffelhorn is a climber's paradise, especially for alpine sport climbing and multi-pitch routes. Its south face, directly above the Gorner Glacier, features medium-length routes (3-6 pitches) in grades UIAA IV-VI, ideal for training rope handling, belaying, and technique under real alpine conditions. The rock's grip and variety make it suitable for beginners to experts. Local guides often use it to prepare clients for the Matterhorn.
Key routes include : Ordinary Route (East Ridge, F grade, 1 hour, 100 m): An easy scramble along terraces below the ridge crest, avoiding steep sections. Great for novices.
Skyline - East Ridge (AD+, UIAA IV, 1 hour, 100 m): Follows the ridge crest directly, with slabs and dihedrals; exposed but rewarding views.
Central Dihedral - North Face (AD+, UIAA III+, 2.5 hours, 150 m): Climbs a prominent dihedral above Riffelsee; finishes near the east summit.
Bartgeier (Lammergeier) Route (UIAA IV+, 4 pitches, 2012): A modern, well-bolted plaisir route on the southeast ridge with a variant called Querdenker. Named after the bearded vulture often seen soaring nearby; requires nuts, friends, and a 45 m rope.
South Face Routes: Numerous options, including the historic "Thermometereck" (post-WWI classic). Modern sanierungen (upgrades) in 2017 added bolts and chains for safety.
Access via Rotenboden; descents often involve rappels (20 m and 10 m). Guided tours (3-4 hours) are available from Zermatt for CHF 200-300 per person, including coaching. Equipment: Climbing shoes, harness, helmet; rentals available in Zermatt. Note: The area includes lesser-known spots like Gornerfluh and Gagenhaupt (2,568 m) for more variety.
Notable Facts and Recent Events
Wildlife
Lammergeiers (bearded vultures, wingspan up to 2.6 m) and golden eagles are frequently spotted circling the peak, adding to the majestic experience.
Historical Context
Routes like Thermometereck highlight post-WWI emphasis on climbing as recreation rather than just summit conquest. It's not a true "horn" geomorphologically, as it's a nunatak (rock outcrop in a glacier) rather than cirque-formed.
Recent Incident
On July 18, 2025, a 55-year-old German mountaineer fatally fell about 100 meters during descent on the Gagenhaupt ridge at around 2,500 m. The cause is under investigation by Valais cantonal police; his companion called for help, but rescuers from Air Zermatt could only confirm the death. This underscores the risks even on familiar terrain—always go with a guide if inexperienced.
Popularity
Despite its "small" size compared to neighbors, Riffelhorn attracts climbers year-round, especially July-September. It's part of guided Matterhorn prep programs and has been featured in guides like the Swiss Alpine Club's selections.

I thought I give Groc a try - it is a AI function on X (formerly Twitter)
The prompt for this did not grow on my pile, I 'pilfered' it from creator.nightcafe.studio/u/dizzycafe
Just couldn't resist trying what Groc would do with it.
