<p>Good Morning Gang!</p> <p>As announced yesterday, we will take a train ride right through the heartland of Switzerland, from the beautiful city of Lucerne via the Brünig Pass line all the way to Montreux, where we will stay over night.</p> <p>Tomorrow, we will take an early train from Montreux to Visp, where we will be boarding a MGB (Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn) train to Zermatt. In Zermatt, we will take the ride up to the famous Gornergrat Ridge with its spectacular view to the Matterhorn Mountain.</p> <p>Here are some impressions:</p> <p><img src="http://www.rolirosenberg.ch/gallery/d/10500-1/Zermatt++1970.JPG" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.bahnbilder.de/bilder/brig-visp-zermatt-bahn-54401.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://img.fotocommunity.com/Kt-Wallis-Valais/Zermatt/Gornergratbahn-a18594984.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.bahnbilder.de/bilder/ggb-gornergratbahn-38740.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.chriguseisenbahnseiten.ch/gorn13.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>The Gornergrat Ridge is at an altitude of 10,132 ft, so we may have to tote some oxygen with us!</p> <p><img src="http://img.fotocommunity.com/images/Westeuropaeische-Eisenbahnen/Schweiz/Endstation-Gornergrat-a22501570.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>Be sure to have warm clothing ready, as we will most likely have snow up there!</p> <p><img src="http://obswww.unige.ch/wordpress/gornergrat/files/2011/08/5127242258_bf1b44f986_o-1024x681.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>After having enjoyed a Swiss Cheese Fondue for Lunch, we will be going back to Zermatt. The hearty ones can leave the train at Riffelalp Station and hike back to Zermatt, the rest of us will stay on the train and continue to enjoy the view to the mountain of all mountains.</p> <p>After Dinner, we will all take a short walk to the outskirts of Zermatt to enjoy the sunset over Mt. Matterhorn.</p> <p><img src="http://media.kunst-fuer-alle.de/img/37/m/37_7146~berg-gebirge-gipfel-matterhorn,-alpengluehen.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>Enjoy your day!</p>
