Zermatt

At Zermatt there were fantastic views of the Matterhorn...
We also travelled to the Gornergrat summit via train (around 10,000feet)
and to the Klein Matterhorn Glacier Paradise by cable cars (around 13,000 feet)

I followed part of the "Edelweiss Way"..
where I came upon many butterflies and other insects...
but only found the plant itself actually in Zermatt
