Is that the Matterhorn?


A perfect bluebird sky! We took the train up the Gornergrat and checked out all the fresh snow. I wish I would have had my snowshoes with me!! The views from up here are just amazing. I got some great views of the 4000 meter peak I had gone up earlier this spring on the border with Italy, the ParrotSpitz.

The Gornergletscher is the 3rd longest in Switzerland, I have to admit I am not sure what the 2nd one is...does anyone know? A picnic in the snow and a few snowballs later it was time to go back to Zermatt where the streets had turned into perfect ice skating rinks!
