Zermatt: What Awaits You
Zermatt is dominated by the legendary Matterhorn (4,478 m), arguably the most photographed peak on Earth and the centerpiece of every visit. The car-free village combines traditional wooden chalets with luxury boutiques along Bahnhofstrasse, world-class restaurants, and the Gornergrat Railway β a cogwheel train climbing to 3,089 metres for panoramic views of 29 peaks over 4,000 metres. Winter visitors access 360 km of ski runs across the Matterhorn Ski Paradise, including Europe's highest-altitude summer skiing on the Theodul Glacier. The Matterhorn Museum β Zermatlantis tells the gripping story of the peak's first ascent in 1865. In every season, Zermatt delivers an alpine experience that few places on Earth can match.
