Traveling with Ric, Zermatt

in #travel7 years ago

Heading to one of the most southern points of Switzerland, Zermatt is known to many as the home of the famous mountain the Matterhorn. The town was absolutely stunning as it had a very quaint feeling to it. The town has a rule of law where the only mode of transportation comes from electric cars and vehicles. So if you could imagine there were a lot of tiny quiet vehicles roaming around the town.

While there I went on a hike towards a 360 degree viewing point. It was the longest hike I have ever done to date as it stretched 9 hours in total. Not to toot my own horn but this time of 9 hours was after weeks of hiking and fine tuning my body where I could continue hiking up with limited to no stopping. There was a lot of terrain change as it started out like a normal forest hike and turned into a snowy wonderland.

The views from the top were stunning as it gave a 360 degree view of the landscape. 20170610_145207.jpg

This town was one of the most beautiful towns I have ever been to and highly recommend to anyone traveling through Switzerland.

The Matterhorn is simply stunning and full of history. That looks like a perfect day out in the mountains. Do you know the name of your 360 degree view point?
