Join me on a thrilling 4K drive up the breathtaking road to Zermatt, Switzerland, one of the most iconic mountain villages in the Swiss Alps. Along the way, you'll experience stunning views of bridges, rivers, and even active stone mines as we wind through the picturesque Swiss landscape. Zermatt is famous for being a car-free village, nestled at the base of the mighty Matterhorn, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts year-round.

As we near Zermatt, I accidentally drive past the point where cars are no longer allowed. Realizing my mistake just in time, I quickly turn around and make it back before getting fined. It turns out that driving beyond this point can result in a hefty 700 euro fine! Thankfully, I managed to avoid it, but it was a close call.

This video not only captures the beauty and excitement of driving in Switzerland but also highlights the importance of being cautious when approaching Zermatt’s restricted car-free zone. Whether you're planning a visit or just love scenic drives, this video gives you a taste of what it's like to approach one of Switzerland's most charming destinations.
