The Ski Resort

Zermatt is a picturesque and car-free village in the Swiss Alps, with a mix of vibrant life and peaceful nature. The village is adorned with 500-year-old wooden houses, romantic neighbourhoods, and quiet corners, all easily accessible on foot. As the season progresses, the days become longer, so visitors can bask in the winter sun on the numerous terraces scattered throughout the village. The main street, Bahnhofstrasse, is full of life and features a wide variety of shops, cafés, restaurants, and stylish hotel lounges catering to all tastes. The village combines its modern amenities with the rich history of Zermatt, and visitors have a chance to take guided village tours, explore historic churches and chapels, and take a visit to the Matterhorn Museum Zermatlantis. The village's commitment to preserving its heritage while embracing a lively atmosphere makes it a magical destination for all who visit.

The Ski Slopes

Zermatt has a world-class skiing experience for all levels, from beginners to seasoned pros. For those just starting out, the Riffelberg area provides wide and gentle slopes, while Wolli's Park at Sunnegga is ideal for beginners, with stunning Matterhorn views while practising turns. Intermediate and advanced skiers are more likely to find excitement on the challenging terrain in the Rothorn and Gornergrat areas, which feature long descents, varied pistes, and plenty of opportunities to explore. For the more adventurous, Zermatt’s high altitudes and north-facing slopes make it a freerider’s paradise. Off-piste enthusiasts can also explore huge areas of untouched powder, but hiring a certified mountain guide is highly recommended for safety and the best experience.

Après Ski

Zermatt's après-ski scene has a vibrant and varied vibe, which caters to a range of preferences. For those after a lively end to the day, Hennu Stall regularly hosts DJs and live bands, making it a popular spot with an energetic environment. Similarly, Papperla Pub right in the heart of Zermatt has become something of a cult favourite among both locals and tourists for the same kind of spirited feel. If a more relaxed environment is your thing, there are plenty of cosy little bars and mountain restaurants (like Blatten) to unwind in, while enjoying regional cuisine and soaking in your Alpine surroundings.
