【Switzerland #02】ハイキング in ツェルマット, スイス/Scenic Hike from Gournergrat to Zermatt

On a bright summer day, I found myself in Switzerland, ready to embark on a hike from Gornergrat to Zermatt.


Start of the Journey

Zermatt/ツェルマット

I started my journey at Zermatt, a car-free village that has retained its old-world charm. With its quaint chalets, winding alleys, and the ever-present silhouette of the Matterhorn, Zermatt was the perfect start to my hiking adventure.

Matterhorn Glacier Paradise

My journey started with the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, the highest cable car station in Europe. It offered an up-close view of the Matterhorn and surrounding peaks. The sight of the vast expanse of snow and ice was awe-inspiring.

My journey continued with a ride on the Gornergrat Bahn. As the train chugged up the mountain, I was treated to panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, their snow-capped peaks glistening under the sun.

Stepping off the train at Gornergrat, I was at an elevation of 3,089 meters. The sight that greeted me was breathtaking - a sweeping view of the glaciers and Matterhorn, one of the most iconic mountains in the world.
