4 Questions you may have on mountain fireworks
1. When and where does it happen?
The fireworks I would like to recommend take place on the night of the Swiss national day, i.e. August 1st. The place and event which inspired me to this blog entry is Zermatt (www.zermatt.ch) in Valais/Wallis.
2. What is special about it?
Beside the fact that fireworks are always nice to look at, here it is in particular the setting in front of the mountains which I like. The fireworks "rain down" from the mountains into the valley.
3. What logistics does it require?
Well, you have to get there - by either car or train. Either way, it will take you 3 hours from Geneva to reach the village of Zermatt. The fireworks are at ten at night. Hence, you might want my to note my recommendation for a splendid hotel: www.stylehotel.ch.
4. If you couldn't care less about mountain fireworks?
Sorry, in this case I have no
advice to offer.
