If you've never been to Zermatt, that should be in your bucket list. The car-free village of Zermatt offers a rich variety of mountain romance 365 days a year. Zermatt (at 1,620 m) has lots of life, with many shops, cafes, bars, noble hotel and houses dating back more than 500 years. Everything within a walk - even romantic neighbourhoods and quiet corners. All paths eventually lead directly to the peaceful and yet wild mountain world at the foot of the Matterhorn. We have to take the train to get to the village. There are no cars that bring you there.

Skiing in Zermatt smashes every record: highest ski resort in Europe, snow certainty, two countries, 365 days a year. Skiing on 360 km of pistes in Switzerland and next door to our Italian neighbours. The ski lifts go to the highest heights. Up to the Klein Matterhorn at 3,883 m, where you can look the four thousand-meter alps and the Matterhorn right in the eye. Pistes carefully groomed for every skill level. And don't forget the box stops, because famous and cosy mountain restaurants all located right next to the pistes.
