Why Zermatt?

The Matterhorn village in the heart of the Swiss alps

Regarded by many as Switzerland's top ski resort and by plenty as the world's best, Zermatt is extremely picturesque, car free and offers spectacular views of the Matterhorn and 28 other peaks surrounding the mountain village. Zermatt offers unrivalled winter sports opportunities as well as many other activities.

As heli-ski capital of Europe, winter sports opportunities are mind-blowing, featuring the world's second biggest lift served vertical drop, all year round glacier skiing and a virtual guarantee of snow from top to bottom throughout the season thanks to Zermatt's altitude and snow making on the lower slopes. The runs are well groomed and varied, offering something for all levels of experience. With the assistance of our local guides, the terrain also offers near to infinite off-piste opportunities.

Know as the "Matterhorn Ski Paradise" the united Zermatt, Cervinia and Valtournanche ski areas offer one of the largest skiable domains in the world.

Other highlights of your stay will of course include possibly the best selection of mountain restaurants in the world and an explosive apres-ski vibe. One can enjoy live music of a variety of kinds be it in mountain huts during the day or trendy jazz-clubs and piano bars in the evening.

When you need a break from skiing, there are a multitude of other activities, for example, take one of the many fantastic walks that lead into lost and forgotten hamlets nestled deep in the alpine forests and let that mountain scenery hit you...
