re: Austria/Hungary/Switzerland advice

I mentioned this in a thread a few days ago. My advice for skiing is as follows - From Zermatt, take the cable car up the Kline Matterhorn which is the mountain next to and overlooking the Matterhorn. I did not ski but we did spend the day up there and I can tell you it is very popular with the most expert of skiers. And the scenery is the most spectacular I have ever seen.
