Snow capped village
Mysterious and snowy, the Matterhorn almost disappears in a storm.
A river will snow covered rocks runs through the village.
Beautiful Ski Resort in Zermatt Switzerland
The Matterhorn on a clear day
During the winter of 2012, I was able to learn to ski. So the first on my list of the top three things I learned while in Zermatt was (1) to ski, and that when you’re skiing you should look forward to where you are going. This was helped by me being able to look at the giant moutons around me. (2) I also learned that some ski villages don’t allow cars! We had to park our van and then get on a little elctric trolly to go up to the ski resort. This made the snow super beautiful and stay white! (3) The villagers who were there skied EVERYWHERE. Outside of every restaurant I saw little places for people to stick their skis or ski boots. So cool!
