Chapter 702 Climbing the Matterhorn
Chen Yibin and Sylvie left after only two days of playing in Zurich. This is not to say that there are fewer places worth visiting in Zurich than Geneva, but Chen Yibin is embarrassed to waste Sylvie's time. After all, she is also a princess of a country, and the king of Sokovia has no other heirs. When he is a hundred years later, it will be Sylvie's turn to ascend the throne to become Her Majesty the Queen of Sokovia. Now she has begun to take over some royal things and does not have much free time.
Therefore, after visiting the famous attractions in Zurich and taking a look at the glimpse of Lake Zurich, Chen Yibin set foot on the Valais region, the real destination of his visit to Switzerland.
Of course, this choice did not disappoint Sylvey, because the Valais is also a famous resort in Switzerland. Compared with big cities like Geneva and Switzerland, the scenery in the Valais region has a unique flavor, which just allows Sylvey, who is tired of seeing the city scenery, to change his taste.
Valais is located in the southwest of Switzerland, bordering Italy, in the heart of the Alps, and is also the largest grape growing area and wine producing area in Switzerland. After learning about this, Chen Yibin decided that when he arrived at Valais, he must take a good tour of the local winery and bring some good wine back and taste it slowly.
Although I have Xiaoliu’s Monkey Wine at home, it’s also good to change the taste. Although the wines here are not as famous as Bordeaux, they also have excellent products. With Sylvie, a European local snake, you can definitely find good wines.
"We have a small winery in Valais. Although it has only a history of more than 100 years, the wines they make are still very good!" Before Chen Yibin could ask, Silwei took the initiative to introduce the history of his winery to him.
Is this the so-called accumulation of nobles? Chen Yibin can only say nothing about this. This is because he is not in Sokovia in Switzerland. You have sailboats and wineries. The lives of you nobles are simply too corrupt, too depraved, too... so enviable! I can always have a base in the world like you!
Since there is a stronghold, there is no need to find a hotel. After being taken over by the Sokovian royal family, this winery took over and took into account the holiday needs of the royal family members and built a vacation villa in the winery. Chen Yibin and Silvi just moved in directly. The comfort level of the room was no less than the old five-star hotels they stayed in a few days ago.
After arriving at the winery and settling down, Alfred directed the winery staff to deliver meals to Silvey and Shen Yibin. The dining location was specially arranged on the roof terrace of the villa, because you can see the Matterhorn, the most beautiful mountain in the Alps.
The Matterhorn Peak and Mount Tai are slightly similar. They are both located on the plains and there are no other high mountains competing for each other nearby, so they seem particularly abrupt and steep. To talk about the difficulty of climbing, the Matterhorn Peak is still above Mount Tai. There are forest vegetation on Mount Tai and roads dug out by man-made roads. Even ordinary tourists, as long as they work harder, most of them can climb to the top of the mountain.
The Matterhorn peak is different. This mountain is a cone with four sides, facing southeast, west and north. Each side is very steep, so only a small amount of snow sticks to the surface. There are often avalanches that push too much snow into the glaciers at the foot of the mountain. If you have not received professional training, ordinary people will not be able to climb up the mountain.
"This mountain is also the pride of our Switzerland. Its special triangular cone shape has become a representative of the Alps... Every afternoon, the sunset shines on the snow-covered peaks, reflecting a golden light, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves." The owner of the winery introduced to them the fine wine produced by the winery, while telling the beautiful scenery of the Matterhorn peak, full of pride in his words.
"The weather is very good today. After waiting for another half an hour, we will see this beautiful view! This villa is also one of the best places to enjoy this beautiful view. It is because of this reason that my great-great-grandfather bought this winery." Silvi poured a glass of wine for Haer, and Haer immediately picked it up and put it in front of his nose and smelled the wine. If Haer could speak, he could definitely become the world's top wine tasting with his sense of smell.
"That's really fate!" Chen Yibin muttered in a low voice, because judging from the situation displayed on the pet radar, the orange light spot was on the Matterhorn peak, which gave him a headache. It was not easy to climb up to find a target for such a steep mountain.
"Huh? What did you say?" I seemed to hear the word "destiny". Silwei's face was slightly hot, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she looked at Chen Yibin and asked.
"Oh, I mean how is your mountaineering skills? I want to climb Matterhorn, I don't know if it's okay?" Chen Yibin asked subconsciously. He didn't notice that Silvi's eyes were obviously dimmed after hearing this.
"It is not easy to climb the Matterhorn!" Fortunately, Sylvester was determined and soon returned to normal. She raised her chin slightly and said, "The Matterhorn is the last major mountain to be conquered in the Alps. In addition to technical difficulties, the psychological pressure brought by the steep mountain is one of the reasons, but I have conquered this mountain at the beginning." Conquering Matterhorn is a thing that is more proud of than her princess identity for Sylvester.
"I forgot that you have served in the mountain army!" Chen Yibin also remembered this incident, "So, can you take me to climb this mountain?" It's true that the mountain looks a bit scary. Fortunately, with Silwei accompanying him this time, if Chen Yibin climbed alone, he would be a little worried.
"No problem!" Silve turned his head and said in Italian, as if he was giving orders to the owner of the winery. The owner of the winery frowned slightly as if he was a little worried, but finally nodded and agreed.
"Mr. Lichsteiner will help us find a guide and prepare the necessary props for climbing. We can start climbing the mountain the day after tomorrow!" Silwei explained to Chen Yibin.
Next, Chen Yibin was preparing to climb Matterhorn under the guidance of Silvey. Although he had often climbed around Yunzhong City, the mountains there were far from being compared with Matterhorn. Fortunately, his physical fitness has been greatly improved. With the help of Silvey and local guides, climbing should not be a problem.
