Saas-Fee glacier skiing and the Matterhorn

Today my legs and body kind of hurt - but its really worth it. The skiing weekend in Saas-Fee was simply fantastic. We only managed to go skiing on Sunday, as on Saturday the top of the glacier was too windy. Hence we decided to do a little sightseeing trip to Zermatt, which is not to far away from Saas-Fee.

We went up to 3100m with the highest outdoor cogwheel railway (www.gornergrat.ch) to enjoy the view of 29 snow and ice-covered four-thousand-meter-high mountains including such famous greats us Matterhorn (4478 m), Liskamm (4527 m) and Dufour-Spitze (4634 m).

The Matterhorn is really spectacular - see below.

On Sunday the weather was great for skiing - we went to 3500m to ski on the Glacier. The lifts were pretty basic but the feeling to be on skis again was simply fantastic. Look at below and get envious... Can't wait now for X-mas skiing.

And Alba seems to have a place there too ;)))

I'm writing again ...

Ok....Gabor has complained to me that I never write anything in my blog.
This will change from today ... or at least I will try to keep you a bit updated regularly on what's going on here. (Don't worry, you will not have to read whole novels like on Alba's blog)

To make you really jealous, a picture of where I will spend my next weekend.

This is Saas-Fee (www.saas-fee.ch) and it will be my first skiing weekend this season. I can't wait for it! So who will be the first one to come and visit us here???

Ciao, Peter

P.S. Gabor, as proof that you are reading my blog, post a comment!!!
