Riffelberg - Gornergratt

Ticked off another hike in Switzerland 😍 we took the train from Interlaken to Zermatt and saw snow peaked mountains, glaciers, AND the matterhorn (unfortunately not in all of its glory because it was hiding behind the clouds).

The elevation gain was about 700m and the total hike up was roughly 7km. Absolutely stunning. Then at the top, we did some broke-student-budget mischief and broke a couple rules by "picnicking" inside the hotel (stealth mode kept us out of trouble😂).
