  • Dinner at the Hotel Europe in Zermatt is always a favorite!
  • On a fairly rugged trail (we don't always do this one, if people don't seem up for it!) behind the Gornergrat ridge above Zermatt
  • The Gorner gorge in Zermatt is an exciting short detour near town through a steep, narrow river gorge.
  • I think the walkways through the Gorner gorge feel just rickety enough to be exciting, but sturdy enough to be safe... good fun!
  • A typical Valasian chalet above Zermatt
  • Coffee and fruit torte... one of the rewards of hiking all the way to Hornli hut, high on the Matterhorn at 11,000 ft!
  • A surprisingly lunch at the Hornli hut
  • The Matterhorn clearing after a storm behind the Hornli hut
  • End of the trail on the Matterhorn
  • Above the Hornli hut on the slopes of the Matterhorn
  • Troy "climbing" the Matterhorn. Not really, of course. You know the hiking trail ends when you reach this rope hanging down from the vertical heights of the Matterhorn
  • Hornli hut with the Matterhorn peeking from the clouds behind.
  • A hiking break along the Horli ridge
  • Hiking along the Gorner ridge above Zermatt
