Zermatt

We woke up early and caught the train to Brig, which is in Switzerland just across the boarder. They had the police come through with the sniffer dog checking eveyones bags and passports for boarder control. They took the lady in front of us off the train. Slightly scary. not really sure what was going on.





Then we arrived in Brig and got some food. Yup this is food at a train station. It was delicious! The we rode the train into the valley of Zermatt. A very touristy town that offers many activities. We got moved to a different hotel, and then another different one. It worked in our favor that it was a four star hotel switch up.






Our hotel and the view from our balcony. We got to sleep with the windows open and the fresh mountain air rolling in.









Did I mention that people love Orchids in Europe they are everywhere! Our room wasn't quite ready yet so we went to eat at a local restaurant and had very excellent food from a wildfire grill.








Check out the colorful swiss fancs! And we bought some Swiss chocolates for dessert.






The views and town of Zermatt were absolutely beautiful. The main mountain thrill their is the Matterhorn. We rode a gondola up to the Klein Matterhorn. It was amazing. We took video. We even did went inside of a glacier at the top.






The gondola ride up.



That tiny city below is Zermatt! It looks pretty small now!

Inside Glacier paradise, they had a slide. It was amazing!

Nothing beats a good alpine horn demonstration
