Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Valais

Napakagandang lugar! Ang aming gabay ay napakapasensyoso at mahusay sa paggabay sa amin!

Nagustuhan namin ang aming tour, pero mas maganda sana kung sinabihan kami ng guide na maghanda para sa altitude. Nahilo ako at naramdaman kong magaan ang ulo pagdating sa pinakamataas na tuktok. Mas mainam na bigyan kami ng babala tungkol doon. Pero ang pag-book sa Klook ay naging maayos! Sulit na sulit ang tanawin!!!

It was difficult to tell which bus was ours; a slightly larger logo would have made it easier. The guide tried very hard to explain everything, but I wondered how I would get down the mountain if I felt unwell. I wish there had been more information about what "English assistant only" meant, so I could have been better prepared. By the way, the assistant didn't go up the mountain with us; they just gave us tickets and instructions, telling us to go and come back on our own, and that they'd provide a phone number. Despite this uncertainty, the weather was good, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

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.

Ang Matterhorn Glacier Paradise ay talagang nakamamangha. Sa pagsakay sa cable car paakyat sa 3,883 metro, masusuklian ka ng malawak na tanawin ng mahigit 14 na taluktok ng Alps na sumasaklaw sa Switzerland, Italy, at France. Ang Glacier Palace — isang kuweba ng yelo na inukit nang malalim sa glacier — ay isang mahiwagang atraksyon, na may nakamamanghang mga eskultura ng yelo at isang kakaibang asul na kislap na tila mula sa ibang mundo. Ang tiket ay sulit na sulit sa bawat franc. Ang imprastraktura ay kahanga-hanga, ang biyahe ay maayos, at ang mga tanawin sa tuktok ay magpapamangha sa iyo. Ikaw man ay isang skier, isang hiker, o simpleng mahilig sa kalikasan, ito ay isang Alpine adventure na hindi mo gugustuhing palampasin. Isang "must-do" sa Zermatt!
