Gornergrat to Trockener Steg

While we’ve been lucky to have beautiful weather during the last two days while we’ve been by Zermatt, today the weather turned for the worse. Lots of clouds! In the afternoon, the Matterhorn was no longer visible for the first time during our time here. We ended up taking the train from Gornergrat to Zermatt and then the gondola and aerial tram up to Trockener Steg. We ended up doing a short hike and then returning to Zermatt as the weather wasn’t getting any better.

Zermatt and The Matterhorn

We headed into Zermatt by train today, arriving before noon. We visited the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise before heading back down into town and going up to Gornergrat by cog train. Overall, it was a great day with some amazing scenery and many views of the Matterhorn.

Last Remnants of Fall

While the majority of the trees are without leaves and have been for a week or more now, there are a few stragglers that aren’t letting go. These few trees definitely stand out now that they’re just about all that is left!

Fall Is Done

Technically, there is still a bit more than a month left in fall. Winter isn’t quite here yet. But it sure felt that way today! It was below freezing when we went out for our morning walk and there was frost on the ground. And a particular tree that was full of leaves yesterday was almost completely bare today! It was quite a pretty tree, and a rather large tree, and now it’s just like most of the others. But the leaves on the ground were nice.

Fall 2020

The earliest signs of fall began in late September when just a few leaves were starting to change color. Now, almost two months later, the majority of the trees are bare with just a few that have just begun changing colors. Normally, we would likely have traveled to various parks nearby and beyond for foliage season. But not so this year with COVID-19 raging. Hopefully, 2021?
