Weather forcast suggests rain.

With no idea where to start our 2 peaks day , we go to the cable car, however the web cam shows the Matterhorn swathed in thick cloud, so we opt for the Gornergrat express.

The views in every direction were breathtaking.

Our thin summer clothes took a test in the minus 1 temperatures.

Views across to the Matterhorn bear out our web cam images.

However on the journey down the sun comes out and some images of the majestic peak, sneak out.

The splendid train ride ended at Zermatt, we should have paid extra for the return journey but were waved through by a bored guard.

Another mile hike back up the mountain to the cable car.

The temperature rose & fell throughout our journey.

Change of Gondola for the final leg with plumeting temperaures.

A lift deposited us on the observation deck, by far the coldest place on the planet.

This is the Kline Matterhorn ( the matterhorns little brother ) in perfect relief against the clouds.

Meet Sherpa Tensing & his apprentice.

We found the ice tunnels and this little boy decided to try the kiddies ice slide..Guess who got stuck ?

Many beautiful sculptures adorn the caverns.

This was our last glimpse of the Matterhorn before we were too low to see her properly, still wearing her cloudy halo.

Ian wanted to visit the Gornerschlucht Gorge. I was more than happy to accompany him to the entrance, but the many steps didn't appeal to me.

The tiny buildings below are Zermatt.

A visit to the pool and spa completed our day, having walked 7 miles, the muscles loved the warm water.

Finally our dinner at The Viktoria Restaurant, some sensible salads, followed by Mixed grill & veal sausage for me..The beers were large & welcome.

We should sleep well.
