Switzerland Travel: Enjoying the Town of Zermatt 🇨🇭

[Trip Moment Delivery.🗞️]
This trip, I visited Zermatt, the village of the Matterhorn! 🇨🇭🏔️🚞

🛄ㅣA Quiet Car-Free Alpine Village
Zermatt is famous for its car-free nature. As soon as I got off the train, the only sounds I heard were the quiet clatter of electric cars and horse-drawn carriages, not the sounds of cars. Walking through the crisp air, the cool Alpine air mixed with the scent of wood felt refreshing. The village is small but tidy, with stone walls and chalet-style wooden buildings lining the streets, exuding a warm, Alpine atmosphere.

🌿 Wooden Houses and Charming Shops
Walking through the city center, I encountered charming shops lining every alley. Shops selling Swiss chocolate, watches, and mountaineering gear caught my eye, and red geraniums hung in every window. The warm aroma of fondue wafted from the café terrace, and gazing out at the snow-capped mountains while sipping coffee was a healing experience in itself. People leisurely strolled and dogs frolicked in the snow, completing the peaceful village atmosphere.

🏔️ View of the Matterhorn
The village's greatest charm was its ability to see the Matterhorn from anywhere, anytime. Even from the city center, its triangular peak was clearly visible, and its appearance became even more dramatic as clouds lingered. Sunset, when the sunlight touched the mountaintop and painted it crimson, was especially breathtaking.

✅️ | Travel Tips
1️⃣ Getting Around - Zermatt is inaccessible by car, so you'll need to take the cogwheel train from Brig or Visp stations. 🚞
2️⃣ Village Stroll Route – From the station, walk along Bahnhofstrasse, past major shops, cafes, and souvenir shops. At the end of the village, you'll find the Matterhorn Viewpoint.
3️⃣ Recommended Time – The morning air is clear and the mountain's outlines are most distinct. In the afternoon, the warm sunlight bathes the entire village. If the weather is clear, be sure to catch the Matterhorn's silhouette at sunset.
