Natacha Müller - Our Switzerland expert

"When you're in Zermatt, make sure to try "Walliserbrot," a special rye bread found only in this part of Switzerland. You can find it in any bakery. I also recommend to visit the Hinterdorf, which is the old part of Zermatt with houses and barns that are over 500 years old."
