Wordless Wednesday - Zermatt, Switzerland

Zermatt in the fall, not so much snow.  Heavy snows there now have stranded skiers in Zermatt, with trains and roads shut down.

A is for the Alps

I am only guessing here, but I think that when you ask folks to tell you what they know about Switzerland, the Alps might be one of their top answers.  Others might be money and Swiss army knives.

The Alps go right across the landscapes of Switzerland, France, Liechtenstein, Italy, Austria and Germany.  I visited each of these countries on the trip I will be blogging about this month.  (They also go into Slovenia, but I did not.)

While some of my favorite vacations have involved mountains, I think I am now almost 'mountained out'.  But I am definitely a mountain person, not a beach person.  The only mountain range I have missed visiting in the USA is the Alleghenies.

Here I am in  Zermatt,  at the start of the trip to the top.  Alps - Zermatt - A to Z.

What a view:

We were pretty high in the sky:

Zermatt was day four of my trip.

Each of my posts this month will have a country or large city in country that I want to visit.  It will be titled 'On my Bucket List''.

A is for Argentina
