It must be the most scenic ski resort we have ever visited.
The skiing is also great. Too bad that what once must have been a beautiful mountain village has been transformed into a sort of Disneyland for the super-rich.
In order to avoid the stiffling atmosphere (and the high prices) we stayed lower in the valley at the down-to-eart town of Taesch. This is where the staff of the restaurants of Zermatt live, almost all of them Portuguese. So I found out that the highest Portuguese town is not Guarda at they told me at school, it is Taesch! Come on guys, when are your kids going to get the first medal for Portugal in the Winter Olympics?
