 We took
a train to Zermatt with a change at Visp. Zermatt
is a very nice small village in the valley between
the mountains.Like a hill-station - our very
Matheran for example. There are no cars no buses
here. Only means of transport are foot and horse
drawn carriages. Hotels there ply small electric
carts only looking like a
car. The Zermatt station
(Bahnhof) is very nice.
All buildings around are wood and have beautiful
flowers in each window. The hotel cart took us to
our hotel - Hotel Butterfly.
We got fresh and then went out for late
lunch of spaghetti and pasta. Sandeep and myself
then went to see the Riffelsee Lake. We had to
take a small cog-wheel train. It climbed the steep
mountains and gave a beautiful view of Zermatt
below and the  Matterhorn
peak above. We got down at
Riffelberg station
and started following signs to lake but got
nowwhere.The climb was quite tiring.We abandoned
the search of the lake and returned to the
station to take a train back to Zermatt.
