In choosing your skiing accommodation for your European ski vacation it is essential to consider what each resort has to offer. Zermatt has 3 main interconnected ski areas (over 200kms of runs) of its own and is also linked to Cervinia and Valtournenche in Italy (another 200kms of runs), together these make up the "Matterhorn Ski Paradise", one of the most exciting ski areas in all the Alps.

The mix of runs is great, scenery is breathtaking, off-piste possibilities are excellent (depending on conditions), skiing accommodation is top notch and mountain restaurants and aprs-ski bars are exceptional. Few ski vacations in Europe can match what Zermatt has to offer. The highest lift is at over 3,800m giving an impressive vertical drop of over 2,200m and snow on the upper runs is guaranteed all year round including in summer!

All key runs benefit from extensive snow-making equipment to boost snow conditions as needed, which together with its glaciers makes Zermatt completely snow-sure. Zermatt also has its own terrain park, boarder-cross, halfpipe and cross-country circuit. The formidable lift system minimises waiting times. Our guide can show you the way round all the ski areas and mountain restaurants or, in good conditions, provide you with endless untouched powder snow!
Your pass may include either just Zermatt or both Zermatt & Cervinia providing you with unlimited access to the whole of the Matterhorn Ski Paradise domain, click here for prices.
Last season, the Matterhorn Express lift was extended from resort level all the way to Trockener Steg at 2,900 metres altitude; this means that you can get to the heart of the Matterhorn Paradise area without changing once, enjoying a comfortable journey seated in eight-person bubbles.
Also, the Leisee additional beginners area just below Sunnega with its own lifts has proved a big hit
On the Italian side, Cervinia and Valtournenche have built 5 new high-speed chairlifts, replacing existing tows.
