  • Take a virtual trip to the Swiss Alps with this clip! Watch the full episode: www.ricksteves.com/watch-read... Zermatt is a small town of 6,000 that hosts nearly two million visitors each year. It has more hotel beds than residents, and nearly everyone earns a living from tourists, who flock here for a peek at the magnificent Matterhorn. You can still find pockets of traditional charm if you wander off the main path, including 200-year-old houses and impromptu folk music performances.

      @@KingMK31 The trains/cable car rides are expensive. There is a Swiss Pass for tourists, be sure to research on that, that would somehow lessen the fare (but it'd still be higher than what one normally pays in other touristic countries). The hotel, the food if you're the type of person who dines in a restaurant lunch & dinner when you're on a holiday, can't do that here. Putting money aside, it would be a trip worth doing in your lifetime :-)

    My piece of advice for anyone here who reaches Zermatt, take the (extra) splurge & go to Gornergrat (via the Gornergratbahn). On a clear day, the views of Matterhorn from there is astounding, and the place just feels like you're in another planet.

    The entire region around Zermatt is captured in 3D photogrammetry by Google for use in Google Earth VR. So that allows full use of virtual reality (VR) to see everything. But the most interesting thing is not obvious. In VR you can start at the Matterhorn climber's base camp and climb it for yourself. That's right up, down, and at the top yourself in 360's or 360-3D VR. Interesting 360 degree photos are taken inside and outside the base camp as the climbers gather, and eat & drink at the bottom. And someone has further shot 360 degree photos in and around (inside, outside, and cliff side) ALL of the elevated cliff-side rest, survival, & emergency stations on the way up and down the cliffs. Some are decked out for overnight stays on the cliff sides, including beds and bedding. They are cut (recessed) into the cliff-side rocks. And someone has also taken 360 degree photos of the cliff-side camps on the alternate (less used) paths up and down too. The 360's are all easily viewed in a VR headset as they automatically present themselves. Quite an adventure for people who will never be able to actually do this (make the climb).

    Zermatt is a town in the Visp district of Valais Canton in Switzerland, right? It's in the south near the Italian border, right? The official language is German. brother, do you know? There are tourist attractions in Zermatt that are favorite for Nature Lovers, such as: Matterhorn, Gornergrat, Dufourspitze, Matterhorn Museum, and Trockener Steg. It's amazing that 2 million visitors each year come by train to Zermatt.

    These hyper scenic European towns don't seem real; but they are. Lately I've been curious about things like all those tourists in a relatively small area must make a lot of sewage. Where is the sewage treatment plant? How much water does the town use. Where does all the garbage go? Lots of people make a lot of trash. What happens with it? Where are the hospitals, nursing homes, old folks homes, etc. What are they like? I prefer reality over fantasy. But it is a beautiful town.
