Salzbretzels und ski lifts

We arrived in Tasch from Chamonix ready to go into Zermatt and begin our training – nearly three bottles of wine later we felt hydrated enough to begin our ascent of the Matterhorn (il Cervino) the next day. First we had 3 hours of ski lift and piste walking action up Matterhorn Paradise and down into Italy and Plan Maison.
The salz bretzels and chilling on the ski lifts allowing us to recover ready for our 1600m ascent to the Carell Hut on the Italian side of the Matterhorn. After a sweaty nights sleep in the rafters of the hut we awoke at 5am ready for our climb.
