Zermatt The Valais Lively nightlife | City add-on
“Dominated by the majestic Matterhorn, Zermatt offers a unique blend of traditional charm & sophistication. Its traffic-free centre offers a wealth of après-ski bars and restaurants offering everything from pizzas to gourmet cuisine. This is a world-class resort & a mecca for keen skiers & snowboarders thanks to its immense 350km network of slopes & vast areas of off-piste.” Katherine Cruttenden - Sales Advisor
Zermatt’s ski area is accessed via Sunnegga and Blauherd, four points from the village - the Rothorn by the Sunnegga funicular; the Gornergrat by cog railway (sit on the right-hand side to enjoy the fabulous views and if you can make it out of bed for the 8am train it’s worth it!); the Matterhorn Express gondola to Furi and onto the small but worthwhile Schwarzsee area. Above Trockener Steg a cable car makes the spectacular ascent to Klein Matterhorn for Europe’s highest piste and links to neighbouring Cervinia across the Swiss/Italian border.
Why not try Off-piste powder: Seek out the best powder in Zermatt's huge areas, excellent for offpiste skiing, or take a helicopter to neighbouring Italy. Gourmet food: Take the funicular up to two of the best mountain restaurants in Switzerland, 'Chez Vrony’s' and the 'Findlerhof'. Ice climbing: Place your trust in the guidance of some of the world's best ice climbers and discover a sport that is certainly not for faint- hearted!
