The Call of the Alps

Can't wait to climb the Mettelhorn next summer in Zermatt, Lord willing. 20K roundtrip. Not too steep. 1,880 meter elevation gain.  (That's just over 6,000 feet.) Views of the surrounding area in every direction. This includes the Matterhorn. 

As usual, I plan to stay at the Hotel Bahnhof. 

You're 60 seconds from the Zermatt train station. Some rooms come with a Matterhorn view. Plus the hotel is super affordable. 

Don't want to eat out? A shared kitchen facility has everything you need. 

Will I be strong enough for one more alpine ascent? I hope so!

What's on your bucket list for 2027?
