Day 11 Switzerland : Zermatt to Interlaken

We decided to go to the Gornergrat to view the matterhorn so we will need to take the Gornergrat Bahn (train). Usually the sky is clearer in the morning so best to take the first train also usually by afternoon the tour group will be in so will be crowded on the top.Go for the earliest train which is 7am in summer period ( refer here for timing ) The cost for return ticket is 49 CHF with half fare card ( Saver Pass is not usable for this ). The fare allows you on and off up and return.
When we were there around 6.45 AM , there was already quite a number of tourists and workers.Take the train to Rotenboden station then walk about 10 min to the Riffelsee where you will be able to see the reflection of the matterhorn in the lake. Usually recommend early in the morning or in the evening where there is no wind , then you be able to see the reflection in the lake. It's better to come here first then to the top station cause not all people knows about this spot and also usually for tourists they only go all the way to the top. When we reach the Riffslsee , there was already some tourists before us , either they stayed in the hotel on top or they hike their way up in the early morning.
After spending some time taking the photos , we took the train up to the top station. There was already some crowd at this time, by the time we going off , hordes of tourists group had already made their way up.

By the time we came down was around 11am+ so we decided to have an early lunch then collect out baggage then get on the train to Interlaken.

I would highly recommended this shop that sell grill chicken BUT the lady boss was saying that she be retiring in 5 weeks time so the shop would be close.A check on google map and it shows that it's Permanently closed , the shop is called WILDE HILDE Roast Chicken.The chicken was really really good with the spices.
We managed to got on the train at 12:13 with 2 changes in train at Visp and Spiez, this will get us to Interlaken by 14:28. We be staying at Interlaken Youth Hostel for the night as we will be making our way to Gimmelwald the next morning. The hotel is just few min walking distance from the train station , choose to stay here is to just break the journey. The rooms are simple but expensive , we got the double room with shower and that cost us about SGD $230 for the night.
After check in , we had a short rest then went to the supermarket at the train station to top up some snacks and drinks. Next we decided to go to Harder Kulm Peak for sunset and with Half card , the fares is 50% off at 16 CHF.The station for the train up is just walking distance from the hotel. There was a little Q when we reach , by 6:30PM we reach the top of Harder Kulm.
We stay until 20:30 for the sun to set and then make our way down.Pass by a shop called Asllanis Corner and we decided to take away some food as dinner, Just one burger + fries cost about 20 CHF! portion was quite big and taste was ok.
