Spectacularly situated beneath the majestic Matterhorn, Zermatt has everything to offer in the way of fantastic skiing, picturesque surroundings and a lively nightlife. On arrival, by train from the village of Tasch, you will find the vibrant village centre entirely car-free, with only electric taxis and horse drawn sleighs, and streets packed with beautiful shops and boutiques.
The is the place for the rich and famous! There are 3 ski areas – the Riffelberg, the Gornergrat (with its fantastic luxury mountain train) and the Kleiner Matterhorn / Theodul Glacier ski area. The Glacier area links to the lovely town of Cervinia in Italy. Zermatt has some drawbacks however.
The town is expensive! Also, there is a lot of skiing on roads which can ice up at times. The town is not that user friendly and not compact, so one walks a fair amount. The 3 ski areas do not link to each other perfectly from the town, and one sometimes has to ski one area to get to another.
