Board into train in the morning from Zurich to Zermatt using Swiss pass and track and plan using SBB apps for the recommended of fastest route to reach Zermatt. (Journey estimate 3 to 4 hours, change at Visp, a small city in the heart of Valais.)
As my arrival to Zermatt village, the weather is cloudy. I walked straight up to the cable car station and counter informed that the view of Matterhorn mountain may not be spectacular. So, I still proceed and bought the cable car towards Furi station, one stop away, foot of mountain. Upon arrival, everyone in the cable car is excited where we are able to see snow patches everywhere. After spending much time of photo taking, I head back to the town for lunch. Can’t miss the popular cheese fondue, the basic set comes with bread CHF 20, optional to add meat,potatoes, etc. Next, I proceed to Zermatt funicular station towards Sunnegga funicular station, to get a different view of Matterhorn mountain. Walking around 10 mins to a Lake Leisee and manage to get glorious view of the Matterhorn by the lake. There are wooden seats around by the lake where you may chill and enjoy the scenery with cooling weather.
Walking back to the Sunnegga station before heading to Zermatt town, you may get a tea break at cafe restaurant named Buffet Bar Sunnegga and get the last glimpse of Matterhorn mountain.
