But seriously, Zermatt is amazing! The train ride to Zermatt is so beautiful with the mountains and there is a river right next to the tracks for most of the way and the water is a beautiful light blue-green color that just looks like what you imagine alpine water would be like.
The hostel room that I am in has a beautiful view of the Matterhorn, probably one of the most photographed mountains in the world, and I helped add to that number... I took so many pictures of it.
Skiing the mountain was an amazing experience. Seeing all the mountains everywhere with the snowcaps were so beautiful for the backdrop of the adrenaline experience of speeding down the mountain. There were some runs that took me over 45 minutes to get from the top to the bottom. Considering at Wintergreen, I could get from the top of the mountain to the bottom, taking the longest route possible in under 5 minutes. It was exhausting too. My legs are definitely not in ski shape.
Zermatt was also having something they called Zermatt Unplugged going on. They had a bunch of bands playing concerts all over the town at different times throughout the day.
