Zermatt is the only ski resort in the world where the skiing never closes! The summer ski area is open as usual, and new this year, the cable car joining the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise to the Italian cable car station at Testa Grigia is running. This means that pedestrians can go all the way from Zermatt to Cervinia and back, across the highest border crossing in the Alps! Or you can do a shorter trip and get off at Testa Grigia, enjoy the spectacular views and have an Italian lunch in the Rifugio Guide del Cervino.

A Glorious Season Continues

These last two weeks of March and the first week of April have given us perfect winter powder all the way down to the village. Cool temperatures are preserving the snow, and on all the north facing runs (which are the majority in Zermatt) we have had great conditions both on and off-piste.

It snowed again yesterday, 10-20cm, which together with the last snowfall three days ago has made the piste conditions very enjoyable.
There were even some off-piste tracks to be had in the wonderful Furggsattel bowl and on the Italian side, as you can see below:

The last two weeks have been spring like, with delightfully warm temperatures and a lot of sun. It snowed yesterday, with the greatest depth on the slopes connecting with the Italian side. Piste conditions are immaculate, the sun is not yet high and strong enough to change the snow and for the coming week cooler temperatures are forecast, which will help keep the recent snowfall fresh.
