Täsch and Zermatt :
The mountain villages Täsch and Zermatt are the greatest ski and climbing centers of the world. Nestled in the end of the deepest valley of the Alpes enclosed between steeply scarped mountains, they are dominated by the huge and gracefully curved pyramid of the Matterhorn. From the moment you step off you know you are in a special place. What strikes you most often is the silence. There are no cars here. This immediately creates a welcoming atmosphere. The air is fresh and alpine. The climate the driest and mildest of the Alpes. But more than this, you immediately feel a part of the villages. They draw you in. Most everyone is on foot, locals and visitors alike. Everyone is here because they love mountains. Walking through the cobbled paths of town, between the ancient sun burnt barns and chalets, you catch your first glimpse of the Matterhorn and know you have come to the right place. Welcome to the Matterhorn...
