Last Saturday we drove up to Zermatt and to view the Matterhorn. It's about a two and half hour drive to Tasche where you have to catch a train into Zermatt. The city is closed to all vehicles except for the hotel taxis which resemble large electric golf carts. Once we arrived we took another train up the mountain which would give us a great view of the Matterhorn. Minus the big cloud covering the tippy top.
Once at the top of the mountain, you could visit with some big St. Bernards and enjoy the thin cool air. We decided to hike down and catch the train at another stop.
The kids loved the walk down. They felt like real mountaineers. Walking DOWN the mountain!
We walked for about an hour and then got back on the train to take it the rest of the way down. 
It was such a great day trip. Zermatt is a lovely town and all of the trains kept the kids plenty entertained.If you're curious how it compares to the Matterhorn in Disneyland, Greg has a witty post on his blog.

That is a day trip I'd like to take if I ever make it for a visit! : ) Beautiful! Kuddos to the kiddos for their mountaineering skills.
