Switzerland Part 4

Well, this is the very outdated finale of the Switzerland trip.
Last stop was Zermatt.

Zermatt, at the foot of the majestic Matterhorn, is a world without cars.
Electric-cars and horse-drawn sleighs and carriages are the only transport allowed.
It is the perfect Alpine resort for rest and relaxation.
On the way to Zermatt by train.















Arrival at Zermatt was welcomed by a horse sleigh ride

The next morning, we woke up to a heavy snowfall. The streets that were clean and visible the day before were covered with snow.
