Super cool video! I've been to Zermatt many times but mostly on day trips due to the cost of staying in this expensive town. Longest stay was 2 nights but next time it will be a week, life is worth living and as I get older, the experiences are more cherished regardless the expenses. Zermatt is the best!

Thank You so much for the video! It really brought back wonderful memories of my trip to Zermatt in 2018! My mom and I took a train tour through Switzerland and we stayed overnight in Zermatt! We took the cogwheel train up to Gornergrat, what an incredible view that was!! The Matterhorn was covered by clouds when we were up there, but was in view the very next morning right by our hotel! I remember seeing a lot of hikers when we were on our way back down in the cogwheel train, and said to myself, some day, I would come back and hike down!! I'm a hiker, but with my 81 year old mom, couldn't have done it then! The old town of Zermatt is beautiful, and I wouldn't hesitate visiting it again!!

Wow! What an amazing hotel view you had. Gorngergrat is beautiful isn't it? I loved hiking down from both Gornergrat and the 5 Lakes Hike, it really is heaven there. I am glad we could bring back some memories. I too would go back in a heartbeat.

Nice video, except for the fact the Zermatt wasn't "built specifically to attract tourists". The area has been settled for about 6000 years and Zermatt as town was first mentioned in 1280.

@ThePlanetD Жыл бұрын

We should have said developed instead of built. Of course, everywhere around the world has had settlements well before tourism. This area was developed and marketed as a tourist destination in the 19th century.

@ThePlanetD 10 ай бұрын

That will be cutting it close. However, you can grab a gondola back down if you run out of time. You can take the train and gondola up and then start working your way down. Just find out when the last gondola/ train ends so that you can make. Plus, if it is in the summer, you have longer days, so you can stay out quite late.
