Zermatt is one of the most visited places in all of Switzerland. This got much to do with the iconic Matterhorn that makes one of the best subjects for photography in Switzerland. Zermatt is up in the Swiss Alps, a mainstream destination and thus expensive, even for Switzerland. In this video, I show you a great itinerary for a 1 DAY TRIP to Zermatt on a BUDGET. Zermatt is expensive, but costs can be cut, without compromising on the quality. You need to arrive to Zermatt by train from Visp or Täsch, you cannot park your car up in Zermatt. First go to visit the village, it’s less crowded during the morning, thus really great to roam around. There are a couple of interesting points to see in the village, the main street that is the shopping boulevard, there are a lot of restaurants and bars, the church square, the bridge just nearby that offers a nice view, the promenade along the river and the old town with the traditional Swiss houses. The old town is located at the Hinterdorfstrasse. This area is full of houses that are typical for Valais. Go up to the Gornergrat during the early afternoon. You will have to take a stunning train ride up to the Gornergrat; it’s said to be one of the best train tracks you can take in all of Switzerland. Up from the GOrnergrat, you will have a fantastic alpine panorama over the Matterhorn, Kleinmatterhorn, Rothorn and Dufourspitze. You also can see the massive Gorner Glacier that is really impressive to look at. One station further down at Rotenboden, you may rent a sledge and slide down to the next station at Riffelberg. This toboggan run is really fun, especially with the marvelous view with the Matterhorn.

![AUGUST in SWITZERLAND [Summer Travel Guide]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lrddUjwfZZI/mqdefault.jpg "AUGUST in SWITZERLAND [Summer Travel Guide]
August is one of the Summer months, the weather in Switzerland is going to be warm during that time. In general, August is a great month to travel but there are some things that are important to be kept in mind. August is during peak travel season, and because of that, traveling will be rather expensive during this month. There will be a lot of tourists coming from everywhere around the world to visit Switzerland, the hotspots will certainly be very crowded. Pretty much all of Europe is on Summer holidays, which is why everybody is traveling. The weather in Switzerland during August will be mostly sunny and the temperatures in general above 25°C. Although there is a lot of sun, the weather will be not always nice, it may rain and there might even be floods. Since everything will be open during August, there are certainly enough attractions to be visited, either outdoors or indoors. Since August is a Summer month, the landscape will be lush green, however at times if there have been droughts, the grass may turn yellow and some of the trees may already start to loose their leaves. Nevertheless, despite that, August is a warm and great month for swimming, especially out in the nature. Some of the most beautiful swimming places with clear water would be in the Swiss Alps. Although looking like a paradise, the clear water may be cold with temperatures of only 11-15°C. Overall a very sunny month with long daylight hours, August is perfect to go for hiking up in the Swiss Alps. There will be only little snow and pretty much all of the trails are open. There are also many waterfalls to be visited that may be still quite powerful. August in Switzerland might be expensive and crowded and at times hot, but overall it’s really great to travel around during this season!

![SAAS-FEE during WINTER: Swiss Glacier Village, Ski Resort, Switzerland [Full Travel Guide]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m1AlSA_hrY4/mqdefault.jpg "SAAS-FEE during WINTER: Swiss Glacier Village, Ski Resort, Switzerland [Full Travel Guide]
Saas-Fee, the village of the glaciers, where WHAM’s LAST CHRISTMAS was filmed! Saas-Fee / Saastal is a very exciting tourist destination, in particular during Winter. The village is car-free, thus you will be experiencing great holiday vibes up there. Saas-Fee is surrounded by the tall Alps, the Allalinhorn is the iconic peak of the village. Saas-Fee has everything it needs to be a perfect winter wonderland village, just like Zermatt. There may be no Matterhorn in Saas-Fee but the village has many glaciers. This made Saas-Fee to one of the most snow sure destinations of Switzerland and is the reason, why you could come here for Summer skiing. The upper part of the slopes are on the glaciers itself, in Saas-Fee but also in Saas-Grund (the sunnier side of the ski resort). Do not forget to take the cable car and the Metro Alpin up to the Mittelallalin. The journey is surely going to be unforgettable: You will be taking the worlds highest located underground funicular, up on the Mittelallalin you may eat at the worlds highest altitude revolving restaurant and you may visit the ice pavilion, the largest manmade glacier cave. The glacier cave is full of wonderful scupltures and it one of the very highlights of Saas-Fee!
Besides a fantastic ski resort, Saas-Fee hosts many great hotels. One of them is the Hotel The Capra, a brilliant 5 Star Hotel (paid content). The hotel has a wonderful spa with even a private section. A highlight is the outdoor jacuzzi/whirlpool. The hospitality of the Capra hotel is really of high Swiss standard: Very genuinely friendly personnel, professional barkeepers, a master of a Sommelier and the hotel also offers shuttle services to the ski room near the teleferic. Although the hotel is not cheap, it is very worth the price!
This is my Full Winter Travel Guide for Saas-Fee / Saastal!
