It’s finally time to stretch our legs a bit and we pick up the Matterhorn Train at Schwarzee Paradise and follow it for about three hours, all the way back to Zermatt.
As the trail runs right along the lower slopes of the Matterhorn, you get some magnificent, close-up views of the mountain, which, obviously, the photographs never quite manage to do justice to. The peak of the Matterhorn is about 7,000 feet (1.5 vertical miles) above where this photo was taken from. Awesome. I highly recommend that everyone go there and see this. You won’t regret it.
About an hour after this photo was taken, about half way back to Zermatt, it rained very heavily for about an hour. It was the only point during the week that we got rained on and it was the only opportunity I had to try out my new Rohan rain cape, which worked magnificently.
