Snowboarding in the Zermatt Swiss Alps

Morning view from balcony facing NE. You can see the sun
catching the top of the mountain as it rises from the right.

Waking the next morning, we found ourselves in the shadow of towering Swiss Alps mountain slopes with snow covering every rock, roof and street in sight. The picture above and the next few pictures are all from our hotel room balconies. These pictures were taken well into the morning, but the mountains kept us in their shadows for most of the morning hours. 

Helpful Items for Your Trip

These items might prove useful to purchase before your trip to Europe for snowboarding or skiing in the Swiss Alps.

   

   

   

A couple of travel tips:

• I absolutely love my fleece ear covers (180s Fleece) on cold trips. You will appreciate these whether you are on the slopes or just walking down the street.
• If you need new luggage, do not buy black luggage. Everyone has black. It is far easier to pick your blue or red or white colored bags off of the baggage claim carousel if it stands out. 
• Buy the electrical outlet adapter with lots of plugs. You will need them for your cell phones, laptops, razors, etc.
