Can you believe that these chalets or barns or whatever are 500 years old?

Zermatt - Valais (Switzerland)

Zermatt is proud of its Old Village, home to more than 30 buildings constructed in the traditional style of the barns and stores of the upper Valais. Many sit on flat stone slabs balanced on stilts to keep out mice. Wonderful for photographers!


This photo is part of a small thematic gallery dedicated to Zermatt and its wonderful alpine world.
