Phespirit goes to Switzerland
Zermatt     September 2003


AROUND ZERMATT - LINE IV - AT 2757m

The clean sheltered waters of Riffelsee lake provide a perfect mirror for the Matterhorn.

Phespirit (plus scores of Japanese tourists) admired the spectacle while fish fry teemed the shores and dragonflies surfed the sky.

AROUND ZERMATT - LINE V - AT 2225m

The Matterhorn is ubiquitous on the horizon above little Zermatt.

This is the mountain and village together as seen from the Sunnegga to Tuftern track.

AROUND ZERMATT - LINE VI - AT 2050m

Spumy mushroom-white water gushes forth from Gornergletscher, the Gorner glacier.

Here in the valley near the tip of the glacier, the torrent is at its most treacherous.
