It was an amazing experience and the weather is great! We were able to see the north and west side f the Matterhorn. It’s an awesome view of the majestic glaciers of Matterhorn in Mt Gornergrat panorama views. Martin is nice and shows us the best views of Matterhorn in Zermatt and the different places old houses and interesting places in Zermatt. The cogwheel train going up to Mt Garnergrat is spectacular. An unforgettable experience of a lifetime!🤗. Thank you Martin!
