Klein Matterhorn Glacier Paradise from Brian Babb on Vimeo.
Courtney and I had an amazing time in Switzerland celebrating my 28th birthday. Seeing the Matterhorn was on my Europe bucket list, so we wasted little time getting to the small town of Zermatt. We took a series of trains from Geneva that took us more than half way across the country. The mountainous terrain reminded me of home and the architecture reminded me of fairy-tales from my youth. Locals and travelers alike swear that this is area has the best terrain in Europe. I was salivating at the sight of such tremendous terrain, but I was unable to snowboard this time. We did not have time or equipment. More problematic, we could barely function at the extreme altitude. Since we are living at 2000 ft. the shift to 12,000 ft. over one day was drastic. I was gripping the hand rails for dear life! After returning to Zermatt from the slopes, we finally began to acclimate. However, the food in Zermatt was just as epic as the views. We enjoyed goulash, bratwurst, and killer fondue. We really enjoyed being Swiss for a few days, which was all we could afford (Switzerland is expensive)!
