When it comes to mountainous areas, you need to expect days with some cloud and rain, and today was one of those days.  We had light drizzle on and off, and mostly cloudy with some sunny breaks.  Therefore, we didn’t plan to venture too far, and stuck around town.

Below is a typical scene from today.  A bit cold, a bit wet and mostly cloudy, but still lots of people around.

Walking down one of the side streets.

A rare moment where the Matterhorn peeked through the clouds.

We then spent some time in the Matterhorn Museum.  It’s an excellent exhibit, with a lot of stories about the first tragic ascent of the mountain.  If you’re in town on a rainy day, I recommend spending some time here.

In the evening, we had a lovely dinner at our hotel, where I ate probably the best wiener schnitzel I’ve ever had.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is supposed to be cold but very bright and clear.  Unfortunately, we’re leaving Zermatt tomorrow.  However, if we do get some clearer weather, we’ll probably delay our departure until later in the day so we can get in a few more outdoor explorations before we leave.
