The Matterhorn is one of the most iconic mountains in the Swiss Alps, renowned for its distinctive pyramid shape and stunning beauty. The surrounding area, particularly Zermatt, provides a charming alpine village experience with a range of outdoor activities. The Gornergrat railway offers spectacular panoramic views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding peaks.

From Zermatt GGB to Gornergrat, you need to take a cogwheel train. After using the Swiss pass to get a 50% discount, I paid 57 Swiss francs. The ticket price is for reference only. The ticket price will fluctuate during the off-season and peak season. We went there during the National Day. The starting point is opposite the Zermatt train station. It takes 5 stops to get to Gornergrat by cogwheel train. Gornergrat is the last stop. Due to the high altitude, it is easier to see the Matterhorn. Taking reflection photos in Rotenboden requires higher weather conditions. We waited for two hours before we saw it.

Lake Riffel is on the top of a mountain, in the Alps on the border of Switzerland and France. In winter, the snow and the lake melt together. It is a very nice view. It is very far from Saas Fee.

Beautiful lakeside promenade, both from Saint-Brice to the city center and from the city center to Boudry. The lake and the landscape change frequently depending on the weather and the season. The summer vacation at home was 5 days of yoga at 7 am in Jeunes Rives (city of Neuchâtel), where the setting is spectacular with hundreds of birds flying around and landing on the lake. In short, the lake reminds you of vacation, no matter where you are when traveling in the world. I'd be happy to see him again.
