Swiss are proud people, they have a lot of “the most”, for example, the steepest cable car or the highest railroad station in Europe.
This pride, amplified by the desire to attract tourists, is very present in one of the most popular regions of Switzerland – in the area of the Interlaken town.
Last time I wrote that we have no snow in Zurich, and now we finally found out where is all that snow that is meant for us =)
To learn that, we had to travel 4 hours by train from Zurich to the very border of Italy, to an area containing a large number of 4000-meter high Alpine peaks. Our goal was Matterhorn – this perfect Swiss mountain. If you have ever had Toblerone – this is exactly the peak printed on the pack! It has also inspired Toblerone’s triangle shape. Check out the similarity:
In December we had snow. Roads and trees were covered with a thin layer of snow for two weeks. Switzerland was not ready for this. Rare snow is one of those few cases when the Swiss punctuality fails.
