Take only pictures; leave only footprints.

This last photo of the Matterhorn gallery is a view of Matterhorn from the highest sightseeing platform in Europe accessible by cableway at 3883 meters above sea level! Can you get any higher? Without a hike :~D
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

This photograph is taken at the same moment as the second picture above, just the Matterhorn peak is zoomed a little bit to give you an idea how hard it must be to climb this holy of “holies” …
This is a flower frozen in ice – an interesting idea and even better craft.
This should be a chamois. It is one the species living in the mountains around Zermatt.
Territorial defense in action! Funny occasion..
A night view of the valley with house-lights and a shining cross..
This picture was taken from the platform of the cable car mentioned above, which takes visitors to the Furi station and also Matterhorn paradise..
This is the view of the village from the Matterhorn Express Cabin on the way to the Furi station. Both Taschorn and Dom de Mischabel can be seen again on this picture.
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.
Matterhorn full on with a nice foreground! This photo is one of my favorite morning shots..
A detail of the architecture (Zermatt’s church).
It may seem really boring at this point for some viewers, because all the photos look so similar. I still like every single one and to say the truth many photos that I had taken have not been published over here at all..
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.
Below the church there is a churchyard with graves of many famous mountaineers, climbers.
The cable car to Klein Matterhorn ends in the mountain, fabulous piece of engineering! When you get of the cable car up there, you have to cross the mountain with a tunnel that goes through the rock!
On this picture you have a front view of the mentioned above-life-size sculpture.
Finally the almighty Monte Rosa (4634m)! The highest point on the Monte Rosa is Dufourspitze – on the right, which is the highest peak in Switzerland, and the second highest peak of the Alps.
This is the cable car station on Trockner Steg. Your journey will end on Klein Matterhorn at 3883 meters above sea level.
A closer view of Hohtälli (3286m) station. It is connecting Gornergrat with Stockhorn, Rote Nase and Gant.
The mountains will always be there, the trick is to make sure you are too!

All around the palace you can look at ice sculptures. Apparently animals are a favorite motive!
Finally we are at the top! Actually not yet , because this is the end station of the cable car to the Klein Matterhorn. This photo was taken directly after getting of the cable car at around 3850 meters above the sea level.
Another picture from the Bahnhofstrasse, with Hotel Post in the view. The night life is bright until very late hours in Zermatt.
This photo is also among my most favorite pictures that I have taken during my stay in Zermatt. It is really hard to say if there is a nicer place on Earth.. :~)
The beautiful orange view of the Matterhorn peak, that was viewable only for a short time during the early mornings was so fascinating, that I had to take more and more photos!
Another view of the nice white snow flame formed thanks to winds around 100-150 km/h on the summit.
Snowflakes are one of natures most fragile things, but look what they can do when they stick together.

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..
