Chapter 762: Matt Peak

In its past and present life, the small town of Davos, located in southeastern Switzerland near the border with Austria, is a famous place.

When you think of this place, many people may think of the famous Davos Forum, but in fact, apart from the Davos Forum, this town is also the largest alpine ski resort in Europe.

The town is about 200 kilometers from Zurich, and although Davos is not the closest ski resort to Zurich with eight major ski resorts in Switzerland, Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying are ready to arrange the next day's skiing activities in this charming town.

The reason why I chose to ski in Davos is also because Fang Zhengying still has an idea.

Now that you're in Switzerland, how can you let go of the famous glacier train?

There are many scenic trains in Switzerland, but the most famous of them are undoubtedly the Glacier Train and the Golden Train.

In fact, the so-called Ice Train refers to a train, while the Golden Train refers to a travel route. This is why first-time visitors to Switzerland or those who are planning to travel to Switzerland can only find information about the Glacier Train on the Internet, but it is difficult to find information about the Golden Train.

In fact, no matter what kind of train it is, as long as you take any of the three lines, it can be called a golden train.

The most famous golden train is the line between St. Moritz and Zermatt, and the train that runs on this line all year round is also known as the glacial train.

In the past, the Grandmaster had never been to Switzerland, nor had he ever thought of visiting this garden country, so would you still expect a sling that would be able to feed your belly to travel to Switzerland?

Therefore, the Guru's knowledge of Switzerland is limited to watches, banks and international organizations, and even so, the Guru only knows that watches such as Rado, Plum Blossom, Rolex, and Tissot are made in Switzerland, and that there is a UBS Group in Switzerland, and that the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee is in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the headquarters of the FIA is in Zurich, Switzerland......

Other than that, there is nothing about Switzerland that the Grandmaster does not know. For the grandmasters of the previous life, a country like Switzerland was too far away. At most, it's just a matter of spending time on the map.

When I came to Switzerland this time, the Grandmaster immediately fell in love with the country. The combination of humanistic architecture and natural landscape here is fantastic, and the fresh air can also get drunk to death.

Since her fiancé likes it here, Fang Zhengying naturally has to think of a way to let her fiancé take a good tour of this country, so she has the idea of taking a train tour of Switzerland today.

Because they had to take the train, the two men did not drive, but asked the hotel staff to drive them to Zurich Central Station, which is located at the end of Bahnhofstrasse.

After getting off the train, the two spent 540 Swiss francs at the ticket office for a first-class ticket for the European intercity international train from Zurich to Zermatt.

If you want to take the glacier train, you have to go to Zermatt.

Zermatt is located on the border between Switzerland and Italy, deep into the Alps. It is worth mentioning that about ten kilometers southwest of the town is one of the most famous peaks in the Alps, the Matterhorn on the border between Italy and Switzerland.

Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying took the European intercity international train, and it took about three hours and fifty minutes to arrive at the small town of Zermatt. After lunch in the town, the two of them inquired all the way to the town's cogwheel train station and got on the mountain cogwheel train.

This kind of cogwheel train is very interesting, there is also a gear-like track between the two rails, and the nose of the train has a special gear that engages with the cogwheel rail, and then with the help of the cogwheel engagement, the train climbs a steeper hill.

"This cogwheel train is also a specialty of the countries near the Alps, especially in Switzerland. Like the Matterhorn Cogwheel Train, Jungfrau Cogwheel Train, are very famous. Husband, if you want, when we come back from Davos, let's go to the Jungfrau side to take a cogwheel train, all the way to the highest railway station in Europe, very interesting. Sitting on the cogwheel train, Fang Zhengying introduced this very interesting red train to the grandmaster in detail.

The grandmaster nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I don't care, as long as you are happy, I will accompany you wherever you go." ”

As he spoke, the cogwheel train had been out for almost ten minutes, and then an extremely unique mountain peak appeared in the sight of the Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying.

This mountain looks very peculiar and very majestic, because it is rare to see such a peak that is almost a four-sided cone, and this mountain in front of you is such a four-sided cone.

The most important thing is that there are almost no peaks to be seen around this peak, and then this mountain peak stands there so abruptly, it looks particularly majestic.

"Husband, this is Matt Peak! I came here with my mom and my brother more than 10 years ago, and I thought this mountain was great, and it still looks great!"

The Grandmaster smiled and nodded, "That's right, this Matter's Peak does look pretty good, and this peak looks very steep." ”

Fang Zhengying said: "Of course, the altitude of Matt Peak is 4,478 meters. However, this height is not ranked in the top 100 in the Alps, but this peak is the last major mountain in the Alps to be conquered by man, because the mountain seems so steep that many people fear it. ”

The Grandmaster nodded and said, "That's right, the appearance of this mountain does look very scary, anyway, if I were asked to climb this mountain, I wouldn't have climbed it." ”

Fang Zhengying looked at the grandmaster with a smile and said, "It turns out that there are still things you are afraid of." ”

The grandmaster spread his hands helplessly and said, "That's not called being scared, okay, I just don't think it's necessary to climb such a steep mountain......"

"Well, your shamelessness has completely left me speechless......"

After a joke, sitting on the train admiring the approaching Matte Peak, Fang Zhengying sighed: "I have been to the Jungfraujoch before, and I have been here, whether it is the Jungfraujoch or the Matte Peak, it is really beautiful." If there is any difference between the two peaks, I can only say that Jungfrau is like the Yellow Mountain of our Dahua, and this Matterpeak is the Huashan of Dahua!"

As she spoke, Fang Zhengying took out a tourism brochure from her bag, pointed to the cover and said: "See, even in Switzerland, when introducing the Alps, almost all of them use this peak as a sign picture." It can be seen how widely known Matthorn is!"

The grandmaster smiled: "Then thank you, wife, for bringing me here to enjoy such a beautiful mountain......
