Holiday of a Lifetime in Europe - Zermatt (Switzerland)

We took a train to Zermatt from Interlaken. The train scenes changed from greenery pasture to snow-covered scenery ! We were a bit surprise as we thought it was Spring and we were able to see snow ! A pleasant surprise.


We loved this hotel because it was clean and well-maintained. Zermatt is a busy resort area. You can immediately feel the bustling activities once you reached the town. There were many skiers in their skiing outfit and heavy shoes. Only electro-mobiles, horse-drawn carriages and bicycles were allowed in the town. Zermatt is small and the best way to get around is to walk.


Nice big balcony where we had our Mcdonalds lunch on the deckchairs. (Not to scare you but 1 set of McDonalds - Big Mc burger, drink & fries will cost you about SGD12-15) We believe this must be the cheapest food in town. For dinner with Jack Place's standard, it costs us more than SGD100. Again, bad service from a stern-looking" waitress who broke into lovely smiles only for their own people. Hahaha ... nothing to say liao.


We took a cablecar to Mattherhorn. It was one of the most impressive mountain I have seen. It was vast ! However, the most impressive of all was how did they get to build the cable car system all the way the peak ?? The photos taken of the mountain does not give great justice to how majestic it was, you must really see with your own eyes. The dare-devils who were skiing down the dangerous-looking slopes impressed us as much. Many were kiddos ! As it was still a skiing season, we were unable to get down to the mountain as it would be too dangerous. It was really a well-spent day in the cable-car looking at the mountains, the skiers, the chair-lifts, the thick and white snow !


Back on earth after the cable car ride ! We spent an hour or two walking around the beautiful town.

Zermatt is definitely a must-visit place in Switzerland.
