Day four in Zermatt

A morning hike with Len from Riffleberg to Rotenboden. Great views, however it was hazy, and so pictures were not great. Every time I see this view I am reminded of the climbs I did in the 1970s on Liskamm and the Breithorn, and of the ski mountaineering in the early 1990s on Castor and Monte Rosa.

The afternoon was spent on an exploratory hike to burn off some calories. I did find Hinterdorfstrasse, the oldest street in Zermatt dating back 300 years (picture below),as well as an alpine antiquarian shop, with everything from cowbells, to old postcards, climbing gear from the early 1900s, and superb paintings and wonderful photographs.
