This Ain't No Disneyland
The famous recording that's played incessantly as you stand in line for the Matterhorn ride at Disney has been ringing in my head since Zermatt hit my agenda. I can finally put it to bed now.
Stepping off the train in car-free Zermatt, I could tell immediately that this is a special place. The quaint, low-key main street feels familiar and easy. Like you'd run into a pack of your best buddies having beers at one of the bars. And there's a kid-on-Christmas-morning hustle on the street of skiers, boarders, and hikers focused on getting up the mountains for their anticipated runs and hikes. I'm sure I would have felt like I was in a holiday globe if it had been snowing.
