Zermatt and Gornergrat 11 January 2020

Zermatt is a mountain resort famous for skinig hiking and climbing. Zermatt is 1600 metres above sea level and lies below the Matterhorn. Gornergrat (3135 metres above sea level ) overlooks the Gorner Glacier and offers a view of 29 four-thousand metre mountains. Gornergrat is reached by a mountain rack railway and is the second highest railway in Europe. Two astronomical observatories were installed in the 1960's. For an Australian low-lander the snow and mountains were awe-inspiring and the Matterhorn is in almost every photo.
