Day 24 - Zermatt - June 20

Attempted another summit of the Klein Matterhorn to get a cloud free photo.  The weather forecast wasn’t great.  It rained on our way down from the Matterhorn in the new cable car - heated seats and very quiet - but we still got a few shots of the Matterhorn.

Went up the Blauherd funicular (it was sunny on that side of the valley!).
Ronnie decided to take me on this cliff walk called the marmot trail (3.8km, 426m ascent, 135m descent around the 2,500m altitude mark) from Blauherd to Sunnegga.

We heard and saw marmots and took some photos of one.  He's in the centre of the photo to the left of the round rock. He blends in well - except for his white nose.
Mossjisee (the lake) with the Matterhorn in the background. 



The Matterhorn (you can't get too much of the Matterhorn because it changes everytime you see it).
 The only Edelweiss we saw all day!!

Dinner: quiche, risotto and Fuch’s bakery cake for dessert.
