Rotenboden-Mountain View

Going up to Rotenboden, not the top of the train, was 110 Euro/person. you can go on a more expensive gondola to a glacier for a different view
someone was busy
this glacier will disappear in the near future

Zermatt-Door to Matterhorn

another day, another town. but this town was on my bucket list

Zermatt is at the foot of the mountain range that includes the Matterhorn. We stayed at the Hotel Bahnhof, right next to the station, and turned out is the hotel many Japanese mountain climbers stayed for decades. A plaque on the outside memorializes their thanks to the hotel’s support and kindness.

You pass through Interlaken to get to both the Eiger and the Matterhorn
A real Swiss Chalet
Obviously an Irishman was buried in the church cemetary
real fresh water
by horse or electric taxi?
the Matterhorn is, of course, the main attraction
a place to life? work?
some old remnants
this old tree might get arrested
a real tourist town with many expensive watch companies displayed
everyone loves chocolate
more than potatoes? how about Rice-a-Roni?
Hotel Bahnhof
you can fake the scene
or see the real thing from your hotel room
old slate roof
run river run
a place to tether your horse
mind the warning signs
covered train rails to get to the viewpoint
