| no partners | | Wifey and I hiked the Gorner Gorge in Zermatt, which is a pretty sweet but short canyon with an elevated catwalk built to traverse it. Totally worth the entrance fee. On the opposite side we found a network of well maintained trails through the forest. We took the scenic trail back to town, which passed through the tiny hamlet of Blatten. It used to be the summer farming area back in the day. Now there are fancy restaurants. We stopped at one, accessible only by the trail, to have a drink and use the facilities. As we enjoyed our refreshments I realized I’d ordered a beer at 10am, and immediately did a Google search to see if it was weird in Europe to order a beer in the morning. Apparently it used to be a thing for Germans and Brits to have beer with breakfast. I’m not taking that step, but at least I didn’t commit a social faux-pas!
The presence of hotels and restaurants accessible only by hiking trail blows me away. I think could live here… for a couple days at least, then I’d run out of money. |
