Day 6 – The tranquil mountain resort of Zermatt
Today you and your group visit Zermatt by rail, an idyllic town
beneath the peak of the mighty Matterhorn. You're at leisure here
to look around. This car-free resort town has a remarkably serene
atmosphere, the perfect setting for a relaxed stroll. To find out
more about the mountaineering history of the area and its famous
mountain, you could head to the Matterhorn Museum.
Alternatively, make the most of the scenic panoramas and take a
journey on the Gornergrat Mountain Railway, which leaves from the
village centre, and rises into the clouds before emerging at the
summit of the Gornergrat. At the top enjoy wonderful views of the
Matterhorn, maybe while enjoying some refreshments from the terrace
of the summit café. You could also take a gentle ramble or visit
the highest Alpine Garden in Europe.
You return to Champéry, travelling the same route you took this
morning. This evening, back at your hotel, you enjoy a final dinner
with your group - the perfect chance to reminisce and share your
holiday stories.
