Couple travel experience

We stayed at Hotel Capricorn with a fantastic view of the Matterhorn. Be sure and go up to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise which was amazing. There is also a small outdoor museum of log houses in the town. We took the gondola down to Furi, then the trail, stopping at the Ricola Herb Garden and eating at the Bergrestaurant Blatten.
