Horse sleights and carriages as well as electric vehicles are the only means of transports allowed. Zermatt combines tradition, life style and modern hospitality into unique mix which creates the very special ambience of the Matterhorn village.

Skiing in Zermatt is on a vast scale. There is an extensive off-piste terrain. Large and seldom skied fields of untouched snow await those 'in the know'. And thanks to Zermatt's extremely high altitudes and abundance of north facing slopes, powder snow can still be found many days after it falls. Fabulous scenery captivates your attention during your ride up the mountains. It is easy to be dazzled by the mountain world around you, being surrounded by 29 peaks over 4’000m. These are the highest mountains in Europe.
