Day 53 Zermatt

20 June
We woke up this morning to rain and thunder, not the best for hiking in the alps. We wandered around town for a bit waiting for the rain to clear. In the end we decided to brave the weather and visit the gorner valley at the southern end of the town. It was a pretty cool valley with steep walls and fast moving water. We walked along a wooden path built on the side of the valley. After lunch we followed the railway track up to a large waterfall then took another path home that took us along the side of Zermatt. The first and third photos are from the valley, the second from the top of the waterfall. It has been a bit difficult to find places to eat within our budget so we haven't tried much Swiss food and mostly relying on the supermarket.
