This picture was taken from the platform of the cable car mentioned above, which takes visitors to the Furi station and also Matterhorn paradise..
When I am looking at this photo I still feel the light morning wind that was blowing at the time I was taking this photograph. It was half past seven AM, around -1°C and the orange sunshine was cutting the mountain’s top…
Another night shot, this time I was charmed by a nice bench made from a tree trunk (8 second exposure).
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” …
A view from Klein Matterhorn to the Italian valley – Testa Grigia (3480m) the end station of the cable car from Cervinia. You can see Mont Blanc on the horizon a little bit to the left from the middle. To be able to spot Mt. Blanc a bit easier you[...]
Snow flakes frozen on a window at Klein Matterhorn.
On this picture you can see the tunnel from the inner side. The first part is not as nice as it could be, but when you get lower towards the blue light the nice things arise.
On this picture I focus on the Testa Grigia (3480m). You can see the end station of a cable car and also a few restaurants that are pretty cheap if you take into account how high you have your lunch served!
The mountains are calling and I must go.

A closer view of Hohtälli (3286m) station. It is connecting Gornergrat with Stockhorn, Rote Nase and Gant.
Magnificent place, imposing atmosphere, majestic view, splendid memories!
.. not much to add here!
It took me around two hours to satisfy my photo-appetite in this beautiful ice palace! All photographs were taken without flash and with long exposures. This makes the ice glow as you can see on this stalagmite.
Zermatt during the evening (the main street – Bahnhofstrasse).
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.
This is the cable car station on Trockner Steg. Your journey will end on Klein Matterhorn at 3883 meters above sea level.
I will start this gallery with a view of the whole village. Even though it was mid-February (2007) the winter in Europe was extremely mild as you can see.
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.
This is a flower frozen in ice – an interesting idea and even better craft.
Here we have the first photograph from the cabin of the cable car. This thrilling view is available every day to everyone traveling to the Matterhorn glacier paradise.. :~)
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

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..
A detail of the architecture (Zermatt’s church).
Mountains are not fair or unfair - they are just dangerous.

This is how Mont Blanc can be seen from the Klein Matterhorn viewpoint. There was a lot of snow blown into the air by wind, so the photo is not that clear and pretty.
Twin peaks in the middle – on the right is the Taschorn (4491m) and on the left Dom (Dom de Mischabel – 4545m). Even though Dom is not the highest peak in Switzerland, it is the highest mountain completely in Swiss territory.
Apart from animals you can find other beautiful things such as this carriage.
I cannot find a correct naming for this sculpture. Maybe it is a flower holder? Creative work!
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!
The mountains will always be there, the trick is to make sure you are too!
