“Check the weather forecast. - We were picked up promptly at 8:30 in Montreux. Our driver was exceptional. Knowledgeable, funny and very nice. Zermatt is an absolutely what I think of as a quintessential Swiss village. The Matterhorn itself is magic. Glacier Paradise was fantastic. Word to the wise, if the weather forecast is cloudy you will not see a single mountain top. Keep your eyes on the weather. But the cable car ride up, the beautiful ice sculptures inside and the potato rosti made to order are above and beyond.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-11
