 Klein Matterhorn by Tripack
Don't forget to acclimatize before going on up to the Klein Matterhorn (3'800m). Please bear in mind that you need plenty of fluids and time to acclimatize when you are at an altitude of over 9,840 feet / 3,000 meters.
You will avoid headaches or dizzy feelings.
Clothing tips:
Warm clothing, a windproof jacket and solid footwear are a must, whatever the time of year. And, of course, don’t forget your sunglasses, sun cream and your cap/hat at these high altitudes. Leave a Comment

About the photograph
This photograph is not really the McDonald's in Zermatt because I didn't photo THAT one, this one is in Minneapolis — I thought photographing it in Winter gave it the appearance that it could be a McDonald's in Switzerland ;*) Leave a Comment

Respect the local signs, especially if you are skiing on the glacier.
Pay attention that crevasses could be hide by a fresh snow cover, so stay on the beaten path... and avoid to dissappear in the heart of an Alpine Glacier. Leave a Comment

Even though Zermatt is supposed to be a car free town, there are many electricty-powered taxis and vans zipping around. Watch out for these!! They come quite fast on those small roads, so watch out for them and look behind you. Especially if you are a new skiier like me, unaccustomed to walking around in those damn ski boots with half a tonne of skis on your shoulders! Leave a Comment

 Matterhorn by KelseyQ
Drinks gallons of water, try to get a humidifier put in your room and run a hot bath.
Leave the water in the tub when you sleep.
I was sleeping at 2222 m so, about 600 m higher than Zermatt which really made a difference when I was getting used to the climate/altitute. Leave a Comment

Most certainly winter brings a lot of snow and ice to Zermatt, which makes walking around kind of troublesome. First of all, it has some pretty steep roads, with signs showing the angles and saying "be careful" in German. With all of that ice it can get pretty slippery. I couldn't tell you how many times we fell going up or down steps and on those steep streets, where you can slide for quite a distance before stopping! Leave a Comment
