The first picture on this last page is a view of Matterhorn from higher altitude. The photo was taken at the Trockener Steg cable car station around 2939 meters above the sea level.
A view from a hill near Hörnli at around 2780 meters above sea level. You can see Monte Rose, Lyskamm, Breithorn, Klein Matterhorn and other peaks.
Below the church there is a churchyard with graves of many famous mountaineers, climbers.
From the left: Zinalrothorn (4221m) – Weisshorn (4506m) – Dom (4545m) – Taschorn (4491m) – Alphubel (4206m) – Rimpfischhorn (4199m) – Strahlhorn (4190m) – Monte Rosa (4634m) – Lyskamm (4527m) – Breithorn (4164m)
You don't need to climb a mountain to know that it's high.

View from Trockner Steg – on the very left Rimpfischhorn (4199m) Strahlhorn (4190m) – then there is a ‘gap’ in the middle with the mentioned Gorner glacier and finally the Monte Rosa on the right.
Another picture from the Bahnhofstrasse, with Hotel Post in the view. The night life is bright until very late hours in Zermatt.
One part of the palace has an orange back-lighting. This orange glow gives the ice a warm and also a very special feel.
All around the palace you can look at ice sculptures. Apparently animals are a favorite motive!
On this second crazy-airplane-pic our holy Matterhorn has nice white background line.. :~)
.. not much to add here!
I cannot find a correct naming for this sculpture. Maybe it is a flower holder? Creative work!
I took another ‘cabin’ photo with the peak a little bit hidden behind the hill. There is also a nice chapel as you can see on the foreground of this picture.
Another view from Trockner Steg – on the very left Weisshorn and on the right twins Dom & Taschorn. Zermatt down the valley and the Jungfrau region far in the middle hidden in clouds with one peak visible.
A closer view of Hohtälli (3286m) station. It is connecting Gornergrat with Stockhorn, Rote Nase and Gant.
Thanks to moderate snowfalls during the evening and the whole night the strong wind was blowing snow from all the higher peaks including the mighty Matterhorn..
This picture was taken from the platform of the cable car mentioned above, which takes visitors to the Furi station and also Matterhorn paradise..
Their intention was to have various ambient light color in different sections of the ice cave. I think in the end it was a good idea and makes the palace charming!
This photo was taken at a funny moment. An airplane was getting near Matterhorn so I ran inside for my camera and made a few pictures.
The structure of the ice is really lovely..
Here we had another beautiful morning, giving us a unique view of Matterhorn. It’s no wonder that this peak is considered to be one of the most gorgeous ones on earth!
Snow flakes frozen on a window at Klein Matterhorn.
Not all that wander are lost.

I took the pictures for this panorama around 6:30am with long exposures. It was snowing over night so I felt the photos might have a ‘polar’ feel..
A detail of the architecture (Zermatt’s church).
This is the cable car station on Trockner Steg. Your journey will end on Klein Matterhorn at 3883 meters above sea level.
On the foreground of this picture there are two pillars of two cable cars. The first bigger cable car pillar is used for various transportation purposes. The second cable car is for transportation of ski-snowboard-freaks.
This is the highest ski lift in Europe, possibly in the whole world. It will take you to Gobba di Rollin enabling you to reach magnificent 3899 meters above sea level with any hiking. It operates only in the summer.
This is one of my favorite photos that I snapped from the Trockner Steg. On the left you have the Gandegg T-bar lift and on the right Furggsattel Gletscherbahn that was closed due to wind at the time I took the photo.
Apart from animals you can find other beautiful things such as this carriage.
