Chur--->Zermatt Glacier Express

Today I took a train through some of the most beautiful mountain countryside in the world. We traveled through the bottom of a gorge and looked down into ravines. The train used a cog wheel to go up and down the steep clifsides. The flowers were in bloom and the water was rushing as the snow melts off the mountains. I saw glaciers in vibrant blue and animals grazing in the green pastures. I traveled in a panoramic train car so I could see all around and experience everything. The portion I chose to experience was a five hour train ride ending in Zermatt.




I am staying at the Youth Hostel with an amazing view of the Mattehorn Mountain...reminds me of Disneyland. There are mountains all around me...some still covered in snow and some displaying rocky cliffsides and others covered in green grass and yellow flowers...some places have fields of dandilions. There are no cars in Zermatt...there are electric taxis and a village bus that haul people around. I hear that everything in the town is expensive so I am glad dinner and breakfast are included in the price of the hostel. Have a Blessed Lord's Day!!
