SWITZERLAND: Villages near Zermatt [HD]
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
Visiting the beautiful swiss villages Täsch and Randa. The village of Täsch is 1,449 metres above sea level and is home to around 998 people. It is situated 6 km from the world-famous tourist region of Zermatt and its majestic landmark - the Matterhorn. Täsch is located in the Mattertal valley, which contains almost all the highest peaks in the Alps such as Dufourspitze, Dom and Weisshorn. The 4,490 metres high Täschhorn lies directly above the village. Car drivers can park their cars at Täsch and continue by train to Zermatt, which is a car-free town. Randa (1,406 metres above sea level) is the third-highest municipality in the Mattertal valley and is situated between Visp and Zermatt, which is about 9 km away. The extended Baroque church in Randa, built in 1717, is a real gem. The village of Randa has often been struck by natural disasters over the course of the centuries. In the early morning of 18 April 1991, huge boulders plunged into the valley. Three weeks later on 9 May, huge rocks plummeted into the hamlet of Lerch, the road linking Zermatt and the Brig-Zermatt Railway. Randa and Täsch are municipalities in the district of Visp in the canton of Valais. Second week of september, 2009 Filmed with the Vado HD pocket camara.
