We checked out of the Reine Victoria hotel in St Moritz this morning. I didn't say much about St Moritz or the hotel yesterday. St Moritz is a beautiful town but obviously very upmarket and aimed at the super rich. St Moritz has been home to the winter Olympics twice: in 1928 and 1948. It has the oldest bobsleigh track in the world (opened in 1908). It is also the only natural ice track in the world - all the others are artificially iced. For the bargain price of 270 Swiss Francs, 2 guests can go down it in a 4 man Bob with an experienced driver and brake man. There wasn't time to do it even if I'd had the nerve. It has to be booked well in advance.
After breakfast we checked out of our grand old hotel that we had been very impressed with and boarded the Glacier Express to Zermatt. The Glacier Express is a very posh train with a glass roof. Unforunately, the weather was a bit wet and much of the journey was cloudy so we didn't have views quite as good as yesterday. However, we were treated to a very nice 3 course lunch as well as tea and cookies during the 8 hour journey.
We arrived in Zermatt at about 6.30pm and had a snack for supper before walking through the picturesque old town to a point where we could get a nice picture of the Matterhorn.
