Hello everyone~♪!
If you are stalking my Instagram account, you have probably seen that I have been to Zermatt in June. This journey was one of my highlights of this year. Not only because I saw the world-famous mountain the Matterhorn, but also because my granny from Japan came this summer to Switzerland! The last time that she was in Japan was hm…. around 10 years ago I think! I was really happy that she made it a second time. She came here for 2 weeks – she stayed at my home for some days and afterwards I took some days of to spend the time with her and my mum in Zermatt. We had a lovely apartment in the village with an amazing view of the Matterhorn. The mountain is incredibly breathtaking and it always remembers me of the Swiss chocolate called Toblerone. When we struggled through the village, I realised that there are many many Asian tourists in Zermatt. And most of them were Japanese! I have never met so many Japanese people in Switzerland like in Zermatt. I had to be careful when I was talking to my mother or my grandmother *lol*. So what did we do in Zermatt? We had a walk (and a beer) on the top of Sunnegga, we checked out the shops in the village, had a visit at the Matterhorn Museum (it wasn’t that interesting although..) and we ate a lot of delicious Swiss dishes like Fondue, Raclette or Älplermagronen. On our last day, we took the Glacier Express from Zermatt to Andermatt, where we could enjoy a panoramic view of the alpine scenery. Our stay in Zermatt was a unforgettable experience – the atmosphere there is 100% Swiss for me. The mountain, the landscape and all the pretty wood chalets remembered me of Heidi. No wonder why all the Asians want to visit this lovely village ^_^
Here are some of the highlights of Zermatt:
- Matterhorn – the mountain of mountains
- Gornergrat – rocky ridge of the Pennine Alps
- Rothorn – a popular starting point for hiking
- Sunegga – heaven for families
- 5 Seenweg – Five Lakes Walk
- Matterhorn Museum
- Glacier Express – one of the most famous railway in the world

Kein Wunder dass den japanischen Touristen Zermatt so gut gefällt, das sieht nämlich absolut traumhaft aus! :D So tolle Bilder! Da würde ich auch gerne mal hin! Und übrigens finde ich auch dass das Matterhorn wie Toblerone aussieht … also wie dieser Berg auf der Verpackung jedenfalls :D Man, jetzt hab ich Hunger …

It looks so lovely! I really want to go and see that for myself. Wasn’t it cold, though?
It was a bit chilly, but when the sun was shining, it was quite warm :)
