Zermatt and Mettelhorn - 3406 meters

For this wonderful national Swiss day weekend (August 1rst) in Zermatt, I went up in solo, on saturday the 31rst, up to the Mettelhorn, standing at 3406 meters. The village being at 1600 meters, it was a straight up 1800 meters to get to the top...
After a quick coffee at the Edelweiss and an Ice tea at the Trifft, it took me 4h30 hours to get to the top...and 2h30 to run down! What a day!

Ok, no more words, lets the music and images speak for themselves...


And now, a bit of eye candy for you guys, I've posted the best pictures of that day

Très réussi comme diaporama. Le mont Cervin est tjrs aussi majestueux, peu importe la saison. xxxx
