“Our guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and overall this was such a great experience. If you care a lot about photos or video footage, I would recommend asking a few questions before getting started. My partner was able to hold and control the camera and ended up with great footage, knowing exactly when it was on and how to use it. For me, it was a bit unclear when the camera was active or when I should look at it or smile while the guide was holding it, so some of my footage turned out a little wonky and not quite as clear. That said, the guides were excellent…”

We met at the Zermatt station and we took the gondola to Furi to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, which included an amazing (very cold!) view of the Matterhorn and the ice palace. Then we traveled to Schwarsee Lake and the chapel then took the gondola back to Furi to Riffelberg. We hiked up to Riffelsee to see an amazing view of the Matterhorn with gorgeous reflections of Matterhorn on the lake. We stopped there for a lunch break and hiked back down to Riffelalp with a slight detour to see the sheep. It was a great day and we hit all of the highlights plus some…”

We thought we had a 6 hour window to hike before the rain came and we made the most of it. We saw gorgeous views and took some excellent pictures.

After about 3 hours of hiking it became very apparent to David that we were going to get caught in a storm and he made sure we hustled to the next train station to seek shelter. While…”
