Trip report Sept 2018, day 14-Matterhorn
-
I had hoped that we might get a day good enough for the Matterhorn while we were in Thun. Today was so perfect that I didn’t want to take a chance of waiting for another day of good weather. So even though a low key day would have been nice after yesterday’s travelling, we set off early for Zermatt.
As we’d missed the Lotschberger yesterday, we took it today, even though it made the day longer. Then we changed at Brig for the train to Zermatt. The scenery as we came closer to Zermatt was wonderful, but nothing compared to the scenery from the Gornergrat train up to see the Matterhorn.
The views of the glaciers and the Matterhorn once you get up the top are amazing. We caught the train down and got off at Riffelsee to take photos of the mountain reflected in the lake. It made for a long day after we finally arrived back in Thun but it was well worth it.
