Early-season Zermatt

The Matterhorn's reputation as Switzerland's most iconic mountain is very well deserved. Here are a few photographs taken while on a short wander from Zermatt, up to Zmutt, and back along the höhweg at about 2100 m. These pictures were taken in mid-November when the trees were just finished changing colour and were preparing themselves for winter snows.
