Zermatt for Christmas '07
Took 3 trains, with the dogs, to get there: Tübingen-Horb-Zurich-Visp-Zermatt. Lots of snowboarding, amazing views from the highest lift in EU and a romantic Christmas eve sled ride. Amazing place and we can't wait to go back next year!
Zurich to Zermatt
An early start to make sure we got our train on time - normal train to Chur then we joined the Glacier Express to Zermatt - amazing scenery en route! Checked into our hotel - Hotel Butterfly - then wandered down the charming main street - lots of snow, festive lights & glamourous outfits! Dinner at Swiss Chalet
