Arrived in Z|ermatt - the train trip up the Alps was fantastic - Heidi and Grandpappa were around here somewhere. Arrived in Zermatt and first thing to that you see when you look up is the Matterhorn - absolutely magnificent - definitely a highlight of the trip.

So, Saturday I went on a school trip to Reideralp, a huge mountain with about three or four seperate resorts on it. The weather was absolutely beautiful. I was actually getting to warm throughout the day because the sun was shining on us. It was about a ten minute train ride to get to the mountain and then you have to take a ten minute gondola t...

All those mountains and the thin air did this Colorado Gal some ...

We debate on what we are going to do. We have ...

The time I had in Lauterbrunnen was my favourite part of the tour. The Contiki village was so pretty and our rooms were lovely. Nicki, Scott, Mel, Corey, Adam and I spent a day up at the Jungfrau mountain and went on the tabogans and flying fox. We walked through the ice palace, saw the dog sled dogs, had a nice lunch with a spectacular view of ...

We ate at Trockner Steg a great soup of goulash, tortzik and wine. We cam...
