Gornergratsee

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.
