Switzerland

On our last day in Zermatt we decided to take a train to bring us up to 3000m where we could see the highest mountains of Switzerland.

在采尔马特的最后一天，我们决定乘坐火车去海拔3000米观赏瑞士最高峰。

Walking on the main road in Zermatt to the train station.

在采尔马特镇，走在前往火车站的主道上。

This is how our train looked like.

我们乘坐的火车就是这个样子的。

Here is the first stop of our route, Riffelalp.

这是我们到达的第一站，利菲尔阿尔卑度假村。

Some nice hotels can be found there.

在那里可以看到一些漂亮的酒店。

Of course you also can see Matterhorn from there.

当然你们也可以在那里看到马特宏峰。

The second stop was at Riffelberg.

我们到达的第二站，利菲尔山。

This place is closest to Matterhorn, so obviously we took some pictures there.

这个地方离马特宏峰最近，因此我们肯定会在那里拍些相片。

Waiting for the next train at Riffelberg station.

在利菲尔山站台上等待下一班火车。

Here we are at Rotenboden, the 3rd station.

第三站我们到达罗登波登站。

The mountains you can see from here are all about 4000 meters high (such as Klein Matterhorn and Breithorn) and covered by snow the whole year.

在这里你们所看到的山峰都在海拔4000米左右（例如小马特宏峰和布莱特宏峰），而且这些山峰终年积雪。

Up here it was already quite cool and windy, so we were happy when the next train finally arrived to bring us to the top station: Gornergrat.

这儿高处已经变得更冷，风也更大，所以当下一班火车到来的时候，我们很开心，因为可以乘坐火车前往最高一站：戈尔内格拉特平台。

This is the view from Gornergrat.

这是从戈尔内格拉特平台上观赏到的风景。

Here you are very close to the highest Swiss mountain: Monte Rosa (4634m).

这里离海拔4634米的罗萨峰（瑞士最高峰）很近。

Gorner glacier (in the middle) with Monte Rosa (to the left).

戈尔内冰河（中间）以及罗萨峰（左边）。

Unfortunately some parts of the mountains were covered by clouds.

可惜的是部分山峰被云朵遮盖了。

As it was very cold up there, we only took a few pictures and then quickly went inside to the Gornergrat restaurant.

由于那里实在太冷了，所以我们只拍了几张相片就赶紧跑到戈尔内格拉特餐馆里面去。

Whilst our baby was still eating, I took some more pictures outside.

趁我们的女儿还在吃东西的时候，我到室外拍了些相片。

Here we are going down again by the train.

我们从这里乘坐火车下山。

Back in Zermatt.

重返采尔马特小镇。

Delicious dinner (pork leg) and dessert.

美食（猪腿）和甜点。

Back at our hotel room we took some last pictures of Matterhorn.

回到酒店房间后我们最后再拍几张马特宏峰的相片。

It was a day with mixed weather, but hopefully still good enough for going on a hiking route from Täsch to Zermatt, which should offer some nice views of the famous Matterhorn.

这是个气候多变的一天，但好在足以让我们从塔什走到采尔马特，好好欣赏著名的马特宏峰的美景！

Starting in Zermatt, we could just see a little bit of Matterhorn when the clouds cleared up.

从采尔马特出发，我们只能趁云朵移去的时候看到一点点的马特宏峰。

Zermatt train station is very clean and well organized - just like most places in Switzerland.

采尔马特镇上的火车站非常干净，而且井然有序，就像瑞士的其他地方一样。

我们的宝贝女儿正坐在从采尔马特驶向塔什的火车上。

At Täsch we took a taxi which took us up to Täsch-Alp, which saved us about 2 hours walking time.

到了塔什，我们打的前往塔什平地，这样可以节省2个小时的行程。

Already the very first impressions of the Swiss nature were quite good.

瑞士的自然景观已经给我们留下了很好的第一印象。

Unspoilt and not crowded at all.

完全没有遭到人为的破坏，而且也不拥挤。

Looking back down on our starting point, Täsch-Alp.

回头看看我们的起点，塔什平地。

Soon we got our first glimpse of the Matterhorn.

不久我们就看到了马特宏峰。

From here it looked even bigger than from Zermatt.

从这里看到的马特宏峰比在采尔马特小镇上看到的还要大得多。

Maybe that's also partly due to the 12x zoom of our new camera.

不过也许是因为我们的新相机12倍调焦的拍摄效果让马特宏峰看上去更大！

From now on all the way Matterhorn would be ahead in our view.

从现在开始马特宏峰完全展现在我们的眼前。

Unfortunately weather was just so-so, so the Matterhorn was always partly covered by clouds.

可惜的是由于天气不是很好，所以马特宏峰总是被部分云朵遮挡住。

Time for a rest.

休息的时间到了。

Despite the clouds, the Matterhorn still was a great piece of rock to look at.

除了云朵外，马特宏峰看上去始终是块壮观的石头。

Later we reached our destination, Sunegga Paradise.

最后我们到达的目的地，萨内嘎乐园。

From there we went down to Zermatt by cable car.

从那里我们乘坐电缆车下山返回采尔马特小镇。

In the evening we went to another typical Swiss restaurant...

晚上我们去另外一家瑞士地方小吃餐馆……

...to have some more Swiss food.

After dinner we walked back along the main shopping road of Zermatt.

Back at our place we went to the kid's corner again...

... to give our daughter a chance to play some games after being out for the whole day.

……让我们的女儿在一整天户外活动后有机会在室内玩些游戏。

This game is called: Hungry crocodile wants to eat fat hamster.

Isabella especially loved playing the piano!

女儿特别喜欢弹钢琴！

Doesn't she look like a professional piano player?

Finally we had to leave the beautiful Côte d'Azur.

我们最终还是离开了美丽的蓝色海岸。

Our route led us through northern Italy, where we stopped at the beautiful Lago Maggiore, shortly before entering Switzerland.

我们的路线需要穿过意大利北部，进入瑞士前我们停在美丽的马焦雷湖休息片刻。

The weather was still very hot there, maybe even hotter than in southern France.

那里的气温相当高，也许比法国南部还要高。

What a change when we finally entered Switzerland. All out of a sudden it became a lot cooler there!

最后我们终于到达瑞士，顿时气温冷了许多！

It was a huge change compared to France and Italy, not only the landscape but also all the buildings looked completely different.

与法国和意大利相比，瑞士有了很大的变化，无论是地形地貌，还是建筑风格，全部都不一样。

In a smooth trip we arrived in Zermatt at our Hotel "Bellavista".

我们一路顺利抵达采尔马特小镇，并且到了我们的贝拉维士达酒店。

Though this hotel only looked so-so from the outside, it was the more beautiful inside.

A very cosy place!

非常舒适的地方！

As we left the hotel to go to the center of the town...

Near the center of Zermatt there are still some houses, which show how people were living here hundreds of years ago.

在采尔马特镇中心依旧保留着一些古屋，向游人们展示几百年前当地人是如何在此居住的。

It is great to preserve these old buildings, to give people an idea how the farmers lived hundreds of years ago.

那些古代j建筑保留完好，真的很不错，因为可以让游人更加了解几百年前农民的生活情况。

Obviously the new town center is much more modern now.

There are many hotels, shops and restaurants of any type to be found in Zermatt.

在采尔马特小镇上随处可以看到酒店、商店以及各式餐馆。

Prices are not always cheap though, and not all restaurants are selling typical swiss food.

然而其价格也不是都很便宜的，而且也不是每家餐馆都卖瑞士特色小吃的。

However, we wanted to eat some typical swiss food, so we entered this small restaurant.

然而我们很想尝尝瑞士特色菜肴，于是进入了一家小餐馆里。

We ordered cheese fondue, maybe the most famous food of Switzerland.

我们点了火锅奶酪，也许是瑞士最著名的小吃。

In fact it is fun to eat. The only problem is... that the cheese is tasting terrible!

而事实上，这玩意儿吃起来很有趣，不过问题是……那奶酪的味道实在太恶心了！

After one evening of eating swiss cheese fondue you cannot stand the smell of cheese for the rest of your holiday, lol.

只要有一个晚上你吃过一次瑞士火锅奶酪，在剩下的几天假期里，你会无法再忍受那奶酪的气味，哈哈！

Whatever, we bravely ate our food, and still enjoyed the evening. Not least because the swiss wine was very delicious.

但不管怎样，我们勇敢地把整锅奶酪吃完，而且很享受这个夜晚，至少瑞士的葡萄酒还是非常好喝的！

Back at the hotel Isabella could play a bit in the kid's corner...

回到酒店，女儿还可以在儿童游乐角里玩耍……

...whilst dad was checking the weather forecast for the next day.

……而她爸爸在一旁上网查看第二天的天气预报！
