Zeramtt
We have just had two nights in Zermatt, Zermatt is a famous ski village very close to Italy. You have to park your car then train into the village, the village only has electric cars. During winter there is up to 30000 tourists there at any one time. Zermatt is famous for the Matterhorn, we didn't see it as there was to many clouds blocking it out …
