Nestled amidst Switzerland’s towering peaks, Zermatt is a luxurious car-free alpine village, renowned for its proximity to the formidable Matterhorn.
This iconic mountain, once deemed unclimbable, now beckons adventurers and skiers to explore its slopes and the extensive 350 km ski area that spans three mountains in Switzerland and extends into Italy’s Cervinia and Valtournenche valleys. Glacier skiing starts at 3,800 meters, offering year-round adventures from the Swiss side, complete with a high-altitude snowpark at 3,600m.
A walk-through Zermatt’s historic Hinterdorf reveals narrow alleys flanked by ancient wooden houses and barns, dating back to the 16th century, embodying the village’s enchanting charm. Among these historical treasures stands a fountain honoring Ulrich Inderbinen, a legendary mountain guide. Zermatt, with its blend of breathtaking landscapes and rich history, epitomizes the quintessential Swiss town, making it an essential destination for any first-time visitor to Switzerland.
