    It is a long day but so worth it. The Matterhorn and the area around it is so amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice. The train ride to the Alps was good. The windows on the train are very large so you can enjoy the countryside. Our guide was great. He gave us lots of great information and showed us so much. He was so patient as we were two elderly ladies and needed to rest some and walk slow. It was well worth the money.
