Aquest any he celebrat el meu anniversari a 3000 metres d'alçada!! Vaig anar a passar 3 dies increibles a Zermatt, un poble d'entre mig dels Alps connegut per que gaudeix de la muntanya més característica de Suissa, el Matterhorn o Mont Cervin. Potser nomès pel nom no sabeu quina muntanya es, però i si us dic que es la muntanya que surt dibuixada a les barres de xocolata del "Toblerone"? Encara no? Bueno, ara quan vegeu les fotos de seguida la reconeixereu!
Doncs aquest any vaig decidir celebrar el meu cumple d'una manera ben especial i com no podia ser d'una altra manera volia que fos a la muntanya, i havia de ser allà a Zermatt. Es un dels llocs que tenia ganes de visitar des de que vaig arribar a Suissa.
Hi vaig anar amb el meu amic Rafa i a qui també li encanta la muntanya. Així que vam agafar tots dos el tren i en tres hores ens vam plantar de Ginebra a Zermatt. Vam anar a buscar l'allotjament i vam dinar tranquilament. Per la tarda, no teniem grans plans de grans caminades i vam centrarnos a visitar el poble, fer algunes fotos, però vam descobrir que hi havia moltes rutes i sense pensar-ho dues vegades i sense equipació, vam començar a seguir-ne una...al final vam acabar fent una ruteta de 3 horetes!!! No era dificil, pero tenint en compte com anavem....suficient!!! :) Si es que no ens podem resistir, a la que veiem un camí, cap allà que hem de tirar.
L'endemà era el dia més especial, voliem fer una ruta que estava marcada com a difícil i que segons la guia trigariem 14 hores a completar i amb un desnivell de 2200 metres, pujariem fins als gairebé 3000 metres i gaudiriem de les millors vistes del Matterhorn. Teniem tanta emoció a sobre que ens vam llevar a les 6 del matí, vam esmorzar i vam carregar les motxilles amb tot el necessari, roba d'abric i de pluja, menjar i aigua suficients, navalla, frontal, etc... i a les 7 del matí començavem la ruta.
Va ser una ruta genial, vam gaudir d'un paisatge espectacular, al principi el Matterhorn era petitet i a mesura que anavem avançant ens anava mostrant la seva grandesa i majestuositat, INCREIBLE!!!
La ruta va ser dureta, la pujada i els glaciars ens van fer suar, però com que nosaltres som uns motivats, enlloc de fer-la en 14 hores la vam fer en 9!!! :D
L'ultim dia era el dia del meu cumple, el 17 de juny i tot i que estavem petadets del dia anterior, no podiem desaprofitar l'ultim dia, així que un altre bon esmorzar amb regals d'anniversari i vinga, cap a l'altre costat a fer un descens, vam agafar el tren cremallera que ens pujaria a Gornegratt a 3100 metres d'alçada i ara toca el descens fins a baix de tot, ens va costar 5 hores i els genolls fets pols, pero no ho cambio per res del món!!!! una vegada més GENIAL!!! :)
Us recomano, que si teniu oportunitat vingueu i gaudiu de Zermatt, que es un poble xulissim i potser no cal que feu les macro-rutes que fem nosaltres, pero hi ha rutes més curtes i fàcils i fins i tot telecabines que et pujen als cims amb millors vistes...no us en penedireu pas!!!

This year I have celebrated my birthday at 3000m high!! I spent 3 awesome days in Zermatt, a village located in the middle of the Alps known because it has the most popular Swiss mountain, the Matterhorn or Mont Cervin. With only the name you probably don't know it, but what if I tell you about the mountain that appears in Toblerone chocolate bars? Well, if not, wait to see the pictures and then you will know of which mountain I'm speaking.
So, this year I decided to celebrate my birthday in a very special way and of course, I wanted that it were in the mountains and had to be there, in Zermatt. Is one of the places that I wanted to visit since I arrived in Switzerland.
I went there with my friend Rafa who also loves the mountains, so we took the train early in the morning and three hours later we were in Zermatt. We looked for the accomodation and had our lunch. On the afernoon we didn't had any hiking planned so we took the camera and decided to explore the village, really soon we discovered that there were lots of hikings to do and without thinking twice and with no equipment we started to follow a path...the story ends in a 3 hours hiking!!! It wasn't difficult at all but regarding the plans...it was enough!!! :) The thing is that we can't resist, as soon as we see a path, we have to follow it.
The following day it was the most special, we wanted to do a hiking marked as difficult and to be done in 14 hours, the height was 2200m and we would ascent until 3000m to enjoy the most wonderful views of the Matterhorn. We were so excited that we got up at 6:00 in the morning, we had an awesome breakfast i we packed all the necessary in our backpacks, warm and rainy clothes, food and water, the swiss knife, lantern, etc...and at 7:00 o'clock we started walking.
It was an amazing hike, we loved the landscapes. At the beginning, the Matterhorn was small and while we were climbing up it shows up all its greatness and majesty, AMAZING!!!
The ascent was not easy, the rise and the glaciers made us sweat, but as we love the difficulties, instead of 14 hours, we ended in just 9!!! :D
The last day was my birthday, june the 17th and even we were tired for the hike of the day before we did not want to loose our last day, so after another great breakfast and some birthday presents, we went to the opposite mountain and this time we made a descent. We took the rack rail until Gornegratt (3100m high) and we hike down. It took us 5 hours and it let our knees quite hurt, but I promise I would not change the experience at all!!!! Once more, AWESOME!!! :)
I recommend you that, if you have the opportunity, come to Zermatt, it's really beautiful and full of hikings of all levels, even you can use the cable cars to go up the mountains if you don't feel like walking...you won't regret!!!
