LOL oh shucks, not sure if its only a South African term, Wikipedia ...."In parts of Canada and the United States, a beanie refers to a head-hugging brimless hat with or without a visor. Seamed beanies are made from triangular sections of cloth joined by a button at the crown, and seamed together around the sides" We have fleecy ones, which we wear when we go camping or jogging in winter, not sure if you have another term for that. Excellent for keeping you warm, there must be another word for it!!

Daphne, I recommend doing the Gornergrat as well while your in Zermatt. It's easy to do yourself in your free time, that is if your not over mountain excursions. I personally prefer it over the Klein Matterhorn.

Thanks. Where I come from, we just call it a hat, or a toque if you’re from a French community. When my cousin was young, she used to call some of her stuffed animals beanies, but I've never heard anyone refer to a hat as a beanie before. I didn’t bring a hat or mitts with me, but I did have a scarf, which I wore almost every day, as it was cold and wet almost every day.

We were done with the Matterhorn optional by lunch, so you will have time to go to the Gornergrat, if you want, however, that won’t leave you much time to see Zermatt. The Gornergart was never mentioned to us as an option, so you’ll have to ask your tour director how to get there.

Tiffany, I had not heard the name beanie either until a few years ago. We use hat or toque also, but maybe that is from when we lived in Montreal. I am not sure here in Calgary, which word most locals use.
