Zermatt, Switzerland

Rated 9 out of 10

Lost in Translation

Thu 6 August 2009 Luca

Been there accidentally, after loosing the last connection to Cervinia at the end of a great day of snowboarding accross Zermatt slopes ! We stayed at a nice ( and cheap... ) hotel, were well received and have lots of fun as we walked across the village with all our gear while everyone else was all dressed up... We have returned and climbed to the top of Rifelberg, having more fun and spectacular views !

Swiss Shit

Wed 5 December 2007 Anthony
I live in Germany and one of my favorite places to go is Zermatt. I disagree about them being snobbish. Its a cool little town and the people were really freindly that I ran into there. Yeah its a little pricey but well worth the experience. Also make sure you climb to the cross and drink 1867( swiis shit). Have fun!!!
