PRACTICAL WANDERLUST
The famous snow-capped Matterhorn mountain. Moss-covered gorges with turquoise blue water below. Shimmering alpine lakes.
Though the Matterhorn is the main draw in this touristy town, there are so many things to do in Zermatt, Switzerland!
One of the most iconic images is the Matterhorn reflected in Riffelsee Lake. It’s even more breathtaking in person!
This is the place to hear the stories of the people who lived (and died) trying to climb the Matterhorn (which means “meadow peak”),
On a gorgeous day, you can sit on the patio and ogle the Matterhorn while you eat Rösti!
The Gorner Gorge is like a whimsical mountain paradise, where you expect to see fairies and water sprites at any second from the corner of your eye.
Walking down this street is like stepping back in time; it’s very quaint, with plenty of luscious red geraniums spilling out of window boxes.
If you want all the thrill of climbing the Matterhorn, without, you know, actually climbing the Matterhorn, you can hike the Hörnlihütte trail.
For a totally different perspective of the Matterhorn, you can head up to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, the highest cable car station in Europe at 12,739′.
