Zermatt is spectacularly situated at the
foot of the Matterhorn, and is arguably the most famous ski resort in the
world. It has something for everyone - pistes for all levels, a lively and
sophisticated ambience, and stacks of aprs-ski and non-skiing activities. |
The lift system, linking to three different ski domains, is fast
and efficient. The long pistes, many through beautiful tree-lined scenery, are well-maintained.
The powder is superb for both boarders and off-pisters, and there are 38 mountain
restaurants to relax in.
Away from the pistes you are spoilt for choice, with climbing
instruction, sledding runs, horse drawn sleigh rides, snowshoe tours, dog-sled rides
and 30km of winter hiking paths.
For relaxation there are 110 restaurants, bars and discos, 7 indoor
pools, 17 saunas, 2 skating rinks, 10 curling rinks, indoor tennis, squash.....
