Where Dogs Feel Great! DOGS – Why We Love Them So Much … Because They Are the Best Therapy Zermatt Dog Guide Where dogs feel great! DOGS – why we love them so much … because they are the best therapy. Woof-woof – it‘s great to be a dog around here! A vacation in Zermatt is a wonderful experience for my master and mistress and for me, too. My favorite morning walk takes us up the mountain right behind Hotel Simi. Once we are past the Zayeta house, I can run free without a leash. There are many animals in the wild around here: deer, chamois, marmots, to name just a few, and also sheep. I make sure that I don‘t scare them up. My mas- ter and mistress always carry a little plastic bag with them in case I need to do my business. Thus we keep the trails clean. While we are within the village I always walk on a leash (as required by law in the canton of Valais). That is actually a good thing because there are quite a few people on the street, and since they don‘t know me they might be scared of me. Outside the village there is enough space for me to run free. Yet I always stay near my master and mistress on the trail. In most restaurants in Zermatt, I am welcome. I enjoy lying quietly in a corner and observing the scene. The team at the front desk of Hotel Simi knows which restaurants welcome dogs, and they are happy to make a reservation for us.

  • Trip Factsheet: Monte Rosa Climber Zermatt Zermatt Is a Charming
    Trip Factsheet: Monte Rosa Climber Zermatt Zermatt is a charming alpine village. It is car-free and reached only by a 15 minute train journey from the valley station of Tasch. As you would expect given its location it is one of Europe's main centres of Alpinism and is a bustling town in both winter and summer. The town is at 1,650m/5,420ft. Zermatt is in the German-speaking section of Switzerland. English (and French) are widely spoken. For further details on Zermatt click on the Zermatt Tourism website at www.zermatt.ch/en/ Monte Rosa (4,634m/15,203ft) Monte Rosa is the second highest mountain in the Alps and the highest mountain in Switzerland. The Monte Rosa is known in German as the Dufourspitze. It is in the Monte Rosa massif which is a range that lies on the border between Switzerland and Italy and is made up of several summits over 4500m, including Nordend, Zumsteinspitze, Signalkuppe and Ludwigshohe. Monte Rosa is located in the Pennine Alps (at 45°56′12.6″N, 7°52′01.4″E), 12kms east of Zermatt. It was first climbed in 1855. We usually ascend Monte Rosa over a 3 day period via the West ridge - the route is graded AD. The ascent begins from the Monte Rosa Hut which is accessed via the Gornergrat railway and a 2 hour trek. Summit day is a long, steady climb with 1800m of ascent to the highest point, called the Dufourspitze. There is a short grade 3 rock section and ice-slopes up to 40 degrees.

THE CENTENARY MEET AT ZERMATT, 1957 TI-IE CENTENARY MEET AT ZERMATT, 1957 Pages from a Diary BY SIR JOHN I-IUNT wo days after the Raclette party on Riffelalp, our party returned to the Betemps hut, after an exceptionally cold and windy traverse of the Lyskamm, which was, however, noteworthy I for the membership of the party itself; it included the leaders of two Swiss Everest Expeditions, Eduard Wyss-Dunant and Albert Eggler, as well as Fritz IJuchsinger, who, with Ernst Reiss, made the first ascent of Lhotse in 1956. .. Our next objective was the Brei thorn via the Klein Triftje (or Young ridge) and we were busy with preparations from the moment of our return to the hut. The composition of the party for this next expedition changed with the arrival of George Band and Chris Brasher, hot-foot from the Bregag­ lia; my wife and Wyss-Dunant dropped out, and Hobhouse, Tyson and I were joined by Eggler, Luchsinger and Fritz Gansser . August 22. We left the hut at 3 a.m. in clear starlight. Band and Brasher got away to a flying start and made a great pace across the Grenz glacier towards the foot of the buttress thrown down from the I{lein Triftj e; we could see their lantern almost half a mile ahead of us when we were barely half-way across. Misfortune struck us early, for at brief intervals both Luchsinger and I broke our crampons on the rough going; we managed to make temporary repairs, but I was short of t,;vo of the inside points, which proved awkward later on.
