Zermatt - Skiing weekend

Everything started with a great opportunity within HP... We can rent a chalet in Zermatt for a very friendly price.
So, why not?
Let's go and try skiing in Zermatt!!!

Yeah!!!!

4 of us (out of 6) couldn't really ski, but who cares?
Among friends... :)
With Julia we didn't even had skiing outfit... :)

So, the fun part started already on Thursday, when I got an email with the subject: Julia bought her stuff!!!!

And she managed to buy all the clothes, and everything that is needed for a "professional" skier...
Yes, but all the clothes were for children!!!

So, in the afternoon I also checked... And yes, I managed to buy also a trouser and a jacket!!!
(Who cares that the trousers are RED, the jacket is ORANGE???)
It is absolutely not important... ;)

Than the only thing that was missing : THE SKI, the boots, the sticks...

We really wanted to buy them earlier... but the shop had just closed before we arrived...
Anyways... :DDD

So, during lunchtime, we quickly went to the town (for me quickly means: 45 minutes to get in, than 45 minutes to get back to HP....) and manage to rent all the stuff!!! :)
Again, for a very nice price!
And also, we got a great deal:
We can try out the skis this weekend, and if we like, can keep them for the whole season... and the price for this weekend will be included in the "seasonal rent's price!!!

Oh...this weekend was amazing!!!!

So, after 4 hours on the train, finally we arrived to Zermatt... Actually in this town cars are not allowed to get in, only special, electronic cars...
So, also the taxis were these special, small electro-cars. :)
Funny!

I talked to them in German!!! Trinkgeld, trinkgeld.. of course :DDD

The apartment was great, even good for more people, not just 6... :)

On the very first day we had ski lessons... :)
It was very useful!!!
And the view!!!
Oh my god!!! Breathtaking!!!
:DDD

(The Team: Anthony, Manuel, Ikran, me, Emilia, Julia)


We had a wonderful lunch:
In front of us: Matterhorn - One of the greatest mountain in Europe, the most famous one in Switzerland, because of its special shape. :)


The sun was shining, it was so hot!!!
We had beers and special Swiss-German "Hubertuswurst" (Hubertus... hmm... ;)



Actually after lunch we were so well, that we didn't really went skiing.

Than for dinner we got Lasagne from Manuel.. Oh.. magnifico!!! :D

On Sunday, we tried out an other mountain... but commeon, that was killing one!!!



We also climbed up till the highest viewpoint of Europe (climbing means taking the elevator... ;)


We were crazy in the whole weekend, just laughing, skiing, eating a lot (as usual.... ;)... fantastic...
:)

One of the best weekends ever!!! :D



We decided to keep our skis, and try to go to France next weekend!!!
I am looking forward to it!!!

And... in February, I go to Austria, Gerlitzen... :DDD
