Zermatt

Switzerland

• Resort height 1620m

Zermatt is romantic, traditional and has some of the finest skiing – it was voted “Best Resort in Europe” by ‘Where to Ski and Snowboard’ last year. The village is car free, except for the electric carts and taxis, and is charming, having a busy centre with a mixture of glitzy and everyday shops. The skiing is some of the best. Advanced skiers have plenty to keep them busy and if looking for a further challenge heliskiing is widely available. Intermediates are spoilt for choice with a variety of options, most notably a run down to Cervinia in Italy.

The choice of eating on the mountain is phenomenal with more than thirty restaurants offering spectacular vistas and consistently high standards. The resort is more expensive than some; this reflects Zermatt’s upmarket and international clientele. The après ski is varied with an abundance of daytime activities for non skiers. Although difficult to get to, Zermatt rewards the effort with charm, spectacular scenery and unforgettable skiing – and you are almost always within view of the Matterhorn.

Transfers to Zermatt from Geneva Airport are c. 2.5 hours.
