Ting å gjøre i Zermatt

Elsket turen vår, men det hadde vært bedre om guiden hadde fortalt oss å forberede oss på høyden. Jeg ble svimmel og ør da vi nådde den høyeste toppen. Best å advare oss om det. Men bestilling via Klook gjorde det smidig! Utsikten var absolutt verdt det!!!

We visited during the peak season in August. Arriving at Zermatt Station at 6:40 AM allowed us to catch the first train at 7:00 AM, and all six of us easily secured seats on the right side. The observation deck wasn't overly crowded, so we could take as many photos as we wanted. The souvenir shop at the observation deck opened at 9:00 AM; while M and L sizes of the cute Gornergrat-exclusive T-shirts were scarce, we managed to get some. On the way back, we hiked from Rotenboden to Riffelberg. The weather was great, and we saw the inverted Matterhorn. While sneakers are not impossible, there are rocky and sloped paths, so trekking shoes are preferable. It was cold at the top, but as we descended, it became scorching hot due to a heatwave, so a packable down jacket that you can easily take on and off is essential. I even took off my Heattech inner layer at Riffelberg.

Matterhorn Glacier Paradise er rett og slett fantastisk. Når du tar taubanen opp til 3883 meter, blir du belønnet med panoramautsikt over mer enn 14 alpetopper som strekker seg over Sveits, Italia og Frankrike. Isgrotten Glacier Palace – en isgrotte hugget dypt inn i isbreen – er et magisk høydepunkt, med fantastiske isskulpturer og et surrealistisk blått skjær som føles utenomjordisk.
