The Clouds Parted
In my previous post I talked about a walk up to Trift in cloud on our last day in Zermatt. I waited patiently at Trift (a 1hr 20mins walk up from Zermatt and approx 2250ft of ascent) for the clouds … Continue reading

A Day of Two Halves
It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the photographic possibilities of a distant place. This, I think, is particularly true of holidays in the mountains. There are the ever-changing vistas and panoramas encountered when out walking that change as you walk … Continue reading

Just Now
Hot off the press – a few minutes ago. The classic view of the Matterhorn. So much snow. This is what it normally looks like in Winter, not what one expects in summer. But whatever the season, the Matterhorn is … Continue reading

The Italian View
The classic view of the Matterhorn is the one seen from Zermatt. That is indisputably the iconic view. Today I skied over into Italy and down towards Cervinia on another fantastic blue-sky day. The Matterhorn looks very different from Italy. … Continue reading
