Overview

Zermatt is a village shaped by centuries of tradition. During the summer, it’s a verdant haven with plenty of hiking opportunities; during the winter, it becomes adorned with glistening snow-capped surroundings and refreshing Alpine air.

The village is quaint, with a mixture of antiquated wooden buildings of the past and quaint townhouse-style buildings and chalets. Whether you visit during ski season and enjoy some snowy, picturesque scenery or visit during the summer, there’s plenty of history and beauty to be in awe of.

During the visit to the astonishing Matterhorn Glacier, you’ll get to take a ride on the highest gondola in the Alps for 40 minutes and experience bird's eye views of a mountain range that's so stunning your eyes will light up in wonder. You will also spend time at the magical Glacier Palace with a complimentary cinema experience, dining opportunities, and views worth dreaming of!
