Zermatt holidays put you snugly in the heart of alpine country, with everything from chocolate shopping to mountain skiing to fill your days.
Take a look around
Zermatt is surrounded by truly magical mountain scenery, with gentle walking paths winding through wooded slopes and flower-filled meadows. Hop on a cable car or mountain railway to see unsurpassed views of the Matterhorn. Then head to the museum learn about the dare-devil climbers who conquered the peak over 100 years ago.
Attractive atmosphere
Zermatt’s beautiful old town is characterised by its traditional, 16th century wooden houses, built on flat struts to keep mice away from the family’s grain stores. It’s a car-free town with some lovely churches, cafés and local shops selling chocolate, watches and traditional wood carvings. Narrow streets decked with colourful flowers and horse-drawn carriages add to its rustic feel and charm.
Cultural winter wonderland
It's not all winter sports and spiced wine here. Delve in to a subterranean village at the Matterhorn Museum – Zermantlantis, or light a candle 3,000 metres up at the historic Bernhard von Aosta chapel. The town also offers locally sourced shopping and a couple of children's playgrounds.
