Day 20 - Zermatt to Gornergrat

23/8/2012

0 Comments

 
30 minutes on a cog train and you arrive at Gornergrat at 3089 M above sea level. The Matterhorn is 4478 - another mountain you can see on the 360 degree panorama is Dufoursptitze at 4634. Fortunately the weather was fine when we arrived. While there were treated to seeing a couple of St Bernards with brandy kegs under their chin. Also we're serenaded by 4 alpine horns.
