Zermatt Day 1

 After the night in Gruben we caught a bus, the gondola, the train, and finally arrived in Zermatt. This is the hiking capital of Switzerland and to some it is considered the hiking capital of Europe. It is a gorgeous city with thousands of tourists and most importantly the Matterhorn! The weather was amazing and so after checking into the hotel I was excited to get out and hike.

The views were breath taking. I will just let the pictures do the talking.

 Matterhorn! Apparently you can only see the whole mountain 20% of the time. We got to see it all three days. We were so lucky!

 Just checking out a hiking trail.

I realize I took way too many pictures.

 Zermatt was a dream come true for me.

 There were some awesome grass tennis courts in the center of town.

 This first day I really just got out and explored the hills close by. It felt so good to be at our final destination. So good to have all our clothes. I was so excited to see the Matterhorn. It was a great day.
