The Zermatt Alps are one of the most famous and popular ski destinations in Switzerland, with its iconic Matterhorn view. This picture was taken at around mid august, so the areas around Zermatt were generally free of snow, except the peaks you can see in the distance.

These peaks are snow capped all year round, and at the Klein Matterhorn, a ski slope operates all year round, and lots of people take the cable car up there in the summer. This picture was taken along the Hiking trail near the Gornergrat tramway. It was a beautiful clear day, so we took the tram up to the Gornergrat observatory and then hiked our way down. If I remembered correctly the Matterhorn was to the right of this image.

I was in the mountain last week for hollidays... ski, snow, sun and great landscapes, mountains are my second mother...

Vue sur les cols du Galibier et du Lautaret.

It rained a lot while we were there; it's so much nicer to ski when it's sunny.

Looks a little like the Dolomites
