After the lake, we walked up the hill a little further. It was called ‘Adventure Weg’. Ended up being quite a walk!

I can’t remember the name of this flower, which grows in marshy alpine areas. So pretty!

Stunning lake, teeming with trout, no fishing allowed unless you pay for a guide at about $300/day!
Still, I enjoyed feeding them a little bit of my sandwich 🙂

The first part of the walk was called the Marmot walk. Cute little animals, but we only saw one wooden one on this walk. Our first destination is visible up the valley.

We were now in walking country! Got a head start by taking a gondola up to Blauherd, but then, we started working off the roesti and chocolate!

The second of two views of our stunning bedroom in Zermatt. Walking past the bed and stepping onto the balcony, there is this view. Breathtaking.

Two views of our stunning bedroom in Zermatt. The welcome of those fluffy white doonas…

The little towns on the way up the valley are so beautiful, almost clichés.

Swiss trains, very efficient. Our train journey wasn’t terribly exciting until we passed through Visp, and began climbing up the valley towards Zermatt. The hills got steeper – steadily turning into mountains, then glimpses of snowy peaks, and that clear mountain air.

This Läderach shop was in Zurich Railway Station, and though it’s only one of many in the chain, it’s still really delicious chocolate.
We had a long train journey ahead of us, so stocking up was mandatory!

Is there such a thing? Not in Switzerland, it seems 🙂

Läderach was pretty good chocolate, and to save you the maths, the pralines work out at about aud$130/kg. About par.

A couple of Swiss delicacies. Spectacular Roesti!
