A beautiful small village with the great Matterhorn view 😍 car free, walkable distance, fresh air, amazing view, plenty of food options, lots of things to do. I went there by train (thanks to Swiss well connected transportation) and walk most of the time in the village.

We stayed at the Capricorn Hotel with a fantastic view of the Matterhorn. Be sure to visit Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, which was amazing. The town also has a small open-air museum with log huts. We took the gondola to Furi, then followed the trail, stopping by Ricola's Herb Garden and eating at the Bergrestaurant Blatten.
