There are some walks that I never tire of walking. And this is one of them. A short uphill walk from Zermatt leads to a balcony walk – a traverse – a couple of hundred feet above the village. It’s maybe only a mile or so in length and at it’s far end it drops back down through Winkelmatten at the top end of the village. A nice way to spend a quiet afternoon.
It’s all that a forest walk should be: a peaceful stroll, away from the crowds, and taken at a leisurely pace. I came across a quote yesterday from the American country singer, Carrie Underwood: ‘Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses.’ I know exactly what she means. There were plenty of stops along this walk, and plenty of ‘roses’.

Thanks Paula. An easy meandering path through the forested slopes – what’s not to like! On a day when you feel lazy it ticks all the boxes…

There are roses everywhere, but they always are better on a path like this. It’s terrifically inviting.

You don’t have to be high or somewhere dramatic to spot the roses. I think it’s part of getting older and finding shorter walks that my wife enjoys that I’m finding that the roses are increasingly present

Looks enchanting – my kind of place.
….and I need no beckoning to take time to smell the roses – they are everywhere I look. Life’s all about choice and the wise always keep a little part of each day to inhale a rose’s perfume.
