DAY 9 the Toberlone Zermatt

DAY 10 (06 Oct 07, SAT) : INTERLAKEN - ZERMATT REGION

4 hours drive from Interlaken, we reached the train station to catch the train ride to Zermatt. It was a short 15 min ride. The quaint village of Zermatt is filled with rows of swiss cottage looking houses.

 

Zermatt is similar to Interlaken, a gateway to snow mountain! None other but the tobelone mountain, Matterhorn. Therefore its quite a touristy place. Not as remote and quiet as expected.

 

We saw the sausage street vendor as read on internet. We bought a sausage and it nice! We had lunch in this Debby restaurant. We tried the rosti but its not really fantastic. We moved on to buy some souvenirs and I am too tired to walk around. We sit in Tea Room to enjoy my black forest cake and latte while Nick enjoy his black coffee.

 

We catch a train ride back to the Matterhorn station. 2 hours of mountainous ride on the coach, we reach this small town, Leukerbad for 1 night stay.

 

It’s a small spa village which is located near the top of a mountain. We could see the tip of the mountain in the hotel room!. We din get to enjoy any spa facilities, (the hotel has a thermal pool) as we are only here for 1 night. It a bit waste of time to travel 1 hour uphill and another 1 hour plus downhill tomorrow.
