After the exciting days before, I am looking forward to spending the seventh day in a relaxed manner. Zermatt offers a variety of leisure activities in the summer, and today I have the freedom to shape the day according to my own wishes. The clear, fresh Alpine air awakens my senses, and I decide to take a leisurely walk through the charming town. From the Church Bridge, I have a fantastic view of the majestic Matterhorn, which stands impressively against the blue sky. The sight of this famous peak is simply overwhelming and a must-see for every visitor to Zermatt. For those who enjoy a bit more adventure, a trip to the Klein Matterhorn is also an option – Europe's highest cable cars take you to an altitude of over 3,800 meters.
After exploring the town, I treat myself to a break in one of the small cafés that are known for their delicious cakes. The fresh pastries here are irresistible, and a piece of homemade cake is a must today. I spend the afternoon completely relaxed, perhaps with a swim in the pool or simply relaxing in the beautiful Alpine surroundings.
A perfect day to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature.
The eighth day of my journey begins with departure from Zermatt. First, I travel to Täsch, from where I continue to Brig. The route takes me over the famous Simplon Pass, one of the most impressive Alpine passes in Switzerland. At 2,000 meters above sea level, I am rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding peaks – a true feast for the eyes of any nature lover. The fresh mountain air and the magnificent views make this stop an unforgettable experience.
From here, the journey continues through northern Italy, passing charming villages and idyllic landscapes. Soon, I reach Lake Maggiore, whose deep blue waters blend perfectly into the picturesque surroundings. The afternoon is at my leisure, and I take the opportunity to stroll along the shores of the lake, soaking in the relaxed atmosphere.
For the adventurous, there is the option to take a trip to Isola Bella – a small island with beautiful gardens and an impressive palace. A visit there would be a highlight for anyone who loves art and nature.
In the evening, I arrive in Lugano, where the elegant Hotel De La Paix awaits me. The day ends with a walk along the lakeside and the anticipation of the coming days in this charming region of Switzerland.
