Thought you might enjoy some photos and a video I made from our trip to Zermatt in February.

In summary, it was awesome.

Might be awhile, but I am working on a blog post about how affordable Switzerland actually is and if you are planning on flying out west you could actually go to Switzerland for less (all in, flight, ground transport, lifts, lodging...)

Looks like that is prior to when the Matterhorn Express gondola went in. That system was a game changer for long lift lines.

I had to take a couple lifts to get to the top when I was there. There was a quad that went up from the town the. Another quad I think. I believe you then had to ski down to the tram to get to the summit by the Matterhorn. I skied for a week and I think I only skied like 1/4 of the terrain

Added a new video homage to Zermatt aerial trams. Lots of the same stuff, less skiing, more trams. Enjoy.
