The Experience
Zermatt blends a deep mountaineering heritage with some of the most expansive terrain in the Alps. The quiet, car-free village remains traditional and grounded, serving as a base for massive glacial runs and long vertical descents that link directly into Italy.
Under the constant presence of the Matterhorn, the resort offers an unparalleled sense of scale and high-alpine adventure. The mountain dining here is legendary — an incredible variety of gourmet huts right on the slopes.
You can easily switch from a technical glacier run to a long lunch on a sun-soaked terrace, where high-quality local food and great wine lists are every bit as impressive as the views.

Zermatt’s terrain is defined by its high-alpine scale and massive vertical drops. The environment is glacial, providing an expansive landscape for technical skiing across high-altitude terrain.
The backcountry offers deep access to varied off-piste terrain, including large glacial fields reached with a professional mountain guide for safety and navigation. For those looking to go further, heli-skiing drops on the Monte Rosa unlock long, uninterrupted descents through some of the most technical terrain in the Alps.

Location
Zermatt is car-free. You reach the village on the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway, or by taxi to the edge of town — which is part of why it has stayed as quiet as it has.
