Zermatt, Switzerland 4K - Walking on Rainy Day - Matterhorn View - Swiss Village

Rain in the village, and the Matterhorn clear above it. This walk keeps to the streets of Zermatt while the rain comes down, and the recording holds both registers at once: rainfall close at hand, the sounds of a Swiss mountain town underneath, and the peak standing over all of it at a distance the weather never seems to reach. The town sits in the Alps, and the film treats it plainly — just the walk, about half an hour of it. What holds the attention is the rain doing its steady work, and a mountain so present it reads less like scenery than like weather. Put it under a study session or a night's sleep if you like; what it really is, though, is a rainy half hour in Zermatt, with the summit everyone comes for holding still above the rooftops.
