Zermatt

We started our journey into the mountains with an overnight in Zermatt.

We couldn't check into our hostel until 4 so we locked our bags up and planned a hike. The weather was mixed when we arrived, but we had time to kill so took the funicular up to Sunnegga mid-station anyway. We were surprised by clearing skies and an almost complete view of Matterhorn when we got to the top! Perfect opportunity to grab a beer and wait to see if our view improved; which it did. The hike down gave some more great views of mountains and chalets. We opted in to the hostels meal for the night; schnitzel & roasted veggies then found a local pub for a pint before calling it a night.

The photos are from our beer view of Matterhorn, the hike down and of the village of Zermatt.Read more
