If this is your first stay in Zermatt then the first thing tol do is to look for the Matterhorn. It's mystical and majestic, it's one of the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen. It's simply fascinating. And for the ones who have already had the chance to see it once, they will confirm that the first thing they do when they arrive in Zermatt is to run to the main street just to see it. This mountain is changing all the time, color, light, "hat cloud" - none of your pictures will be the same : blue sky, snow time, morning, evening and full moon, this will give you some fantastic pictures to bring back.
