6°C, sleet and many ugly, large concrete hotels, this was our first impression of Zermatt. No wounder, that we were not very impressed of this classical tourist village in Switzerland. So we decided to make a hiking tour to Gornergrat (3089m) , in order to have also positive impressions of Zermatt. At the beginn we passed some nice Alps and old wooden houses. |

Bernhard is making a rest at a snow patch ... the chair was already there ... I think the wind once blow this chair away from its original place. |

 |
Zermatt is already deep under us in the valley. The weather is getting better and better, but we still cannot see the famous Matterhorn. |
|
 |
The last part of the trail leads us along the rack railway to th Gornergrat. In the background you can see the Monte Rosa massif. |
|
 |
On the summit, there is a large observatory. |

At the mountain top with Dufourspitze (4634m), the highest mountain of switzerland, in the background. |

 |
View to the station of the railway with Matterhorn in the background ... OK the Matterhorn is still in clouds, but you can see already the silhouettes. |
|
 |
Later the clouds disappear and we could see this famous mountain. |
