The last few days have been warm and sunny, so due to the deteriorating snow conditions, we returned the skis yesterday, and have spent the last couple of days exploring a few of the many summer hiking trails in the mountains, all with magnificent scenery.

Walking in Zermatt
This is our last day in Zermatt. Tomorrow we leave the village at 3.50am for the 12 hour journey back to Falmouth by coach, airplane and car!

The photo below is taken at Gornergrat (3089m) looking down on the series of glaciers from Switzerland's highest peak, the Monte Rosa at 4634m (above Barbara's head).
