Switzerland gives you mornings that feel perfect.
Stellisee at dawn, Matterhorn catching alpenglow, the water so still it makes two mountains. You hike up in the dark with a headlamp, your breath clouds, and then the sun hits the peak.
Zermatt tip: take the first Sunnegga lift at 8am in late September, hike 45 minutes to the lake. Bring coffee, sit on the rocks, wait.
Some reflections are worth the early alarm.
