Zermatt

Alpine reflections! - Schwarzsee, Switzerland

Matterhorn and the surrounding Zermatt valley area is all about towering snow-capped Alpine peaks and near perfect reflections. While taking the gondola back from the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, we decided to take a quick stop at Schwarzsee. Although the main lake is beautiful it does not offer much in the form of photo opportunities as it is way down in the valley. While climbing down, we noticed a small unnamed lake barely 200 m from the main lake which was located perfectly to create these brilliant reflections, so we decided to shoot there. Thanks to the lady hiker in red for adding some scale and colour.
