About Zermatt – Matterhorn's Iconic Skiing - Zermatt, Valais, Switzerland
Zermatt is one of the Alps' most iconic destinations, spectacularly located at the foot of the Matterhorn, one of the world's most photographed mountains. The car-free alpine village combines exclusivity with authentic Swiss charm, where electric taxis and traditional wooden chalets dominate the streetscape. Zermatt is internationally renowned for its top-tier skiing, offering access to over 360 km of slopes in the Matterhorn Ski Paradise. Skiing is available year-round here, thanks to glacier skiing on Klein Matterhorn, which at nearly 3,900 meters altitude offers snow even in the height of summer. The area connects Switzerland and Italy via Cervinia, providing long, varied descents with breathtaking views. Zermatt is also a gastronomic hub in the Alps, boasting an unusually high number of gourmet restaurants and Michelin-level mountain huts where local ingredients, alpine traditions, and fine wines come together. After a day on the slopes, the experience continues in the village's stylish après-ski venues, wine bars, and lounge-inspired hotels, making Zermatt a destination where luxury, nature, and alpine lifestyle blend perfectly.
