The cervin seen by descencant the tracks of Schwarzee.

Open
Breithorn (13664ft), seen of Klein Matterhorn (12500ft) a degage day.

Open
A getting back down of Klein Matterhorn, they cross big fields of snow located between 9800ft and 11100ft. It is also the domain of the summer ski (I believe). Snow is there anyway sublime to the me of March.

Open
At the exit of Trockener Steg (a cable car which arrives has 9500ft), we discover panorama, with Breithorn in background, Matterhorn on the right with another cable car which makes it possible to reach it...

Open
Summits view a day where the wheater was covered in the valley.

Open
Photograph just catch on the right of the previous one.

Open
Descent of quoted Zermatt since the plateaus Rosa.
We are in about 11500ft.

Open
Somewhere between Rothorn and Stockhorn (8200ft).

Open
Snow seen nearly glitters in hot sun.
Photographed nearly in a virgin place, it is very nice!

Open
In a descending line from Rothorn an evening, the arrival of clouds give an original photograph. Here we are in 10200ft.

Open
I take back another photograph a little bit lower in a descending track to Zermatt. Perhaps I was at 8200ft.


Open
Some minutes later lower, towards 6600ft.

Open
Then downwards to descent towards Zermatt, we cross bars / restaurants located 200 or 300m above Zermatt here where the skiers like to stop and listen music and to have a drink. We find it when getting off from Rothorn or Furi.

Open
Some morning, we leave Zermatt under snow, mist and clouds. Then at 12500ft, we find a good wheater...Great!

Open
It has snowed a lot all a day. In off-piste skiing it is then necessary to grow on ski pole!

Open
It is very exciting to ski above 9800ft with fine weather, when we see that weather is poor below...

Open
The same photograph catch on the left on the previous one.

Open
Descent of the plateaus Rosa (3500m) on Zermatt side.

Open
On the track back to the station in evening, a way crosses near Cervin, what gives new nice photographs (lanes 15a, that goes down from Schwarzee to Zermatt by making the big turn).

Open
The evening, it is possible to make games of shades with Cervin, sun, and snow.

Open
The descent by the tracks of Schwarzee underneath the cervin is very pretty.

Open
A little lower towards 7200ft, I make one more photograph.

Open
Another day, we left Zermatt again with poor wheater and snow. Sometimes the border of clouds is 3000m, and sometimes it is 4000m, then we are entitle to this type of landscape at 12500ft in Klein Matterhorn...

Open
I tried to catch several photograph in the same conditions of the previous one. With a numerical correction we can increase colours, and it gives this...

Open
and also that one! It is often cold there in these conditions, there can be the wind, and it odten makes a real -20°C at 13100ft.

Open
During the day the wheater evolves when it was cloud below in morning. Clouds and sun plays hide and seek, this also gives constrastes and interesting light.

Open
These small clouds around Cervin are very nice. Finally I takes a photograph!

Open
And nevertheless some photographs of Zermatt in the evening, while there is still light.

Open
And still another in the commercial street.
