Switzerland, Zermatt & The Matterhorn

Hey Everyone

In July I crossed a very big bucket list item off the list! Which was to visit Switzerland, specifically Zermatt, and spend a week hiking & photographing everything.

So here is plan, I will share in this thread my favourite "photography" shots as hosted images, then I will provide a link to a web gallery which has a mixture of photography and holiday snaps

Without further ado...

These are great. Always wanted to do a road trip through but never had the time or money so far.

Nothing like thrashing around those mountains on a motorbike! Lovely photos.

Think number 8 is my favourite of that lot.

Hoping to get there next year - here is hoping Brexit doesn't make for too much of a mess in that respect.

#7 is something else

Nice captures.

Only 2.5hours drive form here but I haven't visited in some time, maybe this October once the main tourist rush has left as I am planning a long weekend with the wife.

For thos that want more Matterhorn porn then netflix has a short documentary called the Horn. following the AirZermatt mountain rescue

Get photos while you can because the permafrost is melting and the peak is at risk of collapsing over the next few years.

Also my ad blocker has blocked all of your photos Phate.

I got stuck hiking around the Matterhorn lakes when my wife and I missed the last cable car back down. We had to hike for 6 hours (after already hiking most of the day) to get down. I couldn't walk for a week.

Yep, there is a few things out of date with this domain/site, including certificates and a few other things which mean its lacking behind and adblockers are starting to not like it.

Its on the todo list.
