The Matterhorn

We had expected it to be quite cold in Zermatt and especially up on the mountains at Gonergat but the weather was perfect with sunshine and clear skies and a clear view of the mountains and of the infamous  Matterhorn.
It took 30 minutes to climb to 10,200 feet up the mountain on the cog-wheel train. Many people come up only to hike back down.  We just walked around to the top and enjoyed the views and the solitude until it became too crowded.
We spent the afternoon walking around Zermatt.  The tour group enjoyed a light dinner of cheese fondue. Mike and Dianne joined us at a bar for a nice glass of wine to close the evening.
