The previous day, I embarked upon a hike up to the Edelweiss Hut, in a quest to gain elevation and lunch.

I failed in that quest, due to the trail being out, my hiking poles not reminding me to bring them, and another issue that I still can’t quite recall. However, on Monday morning while starting onto my walk toward one of the waterfalls up the valley near the Matterhorn, I was gifted with an absolutely gorgeous view of said Edelweiss Hut – from a distance, and through the morning fog.

See… Zermatt had a lot of cool cafes / restaurants / hotels / buildings that’re perched up on cliffs.

In the mornings, there’s fog throughout the valley.

In this instance, those two combined to form a magical building, floating in a cloud, with birds wheeling about in the empty void between it and the ground.




At least, that’s what it looked like to me.
