A perfectly maintained hiking trail network of 400 kilometers in summer and 70 kilometers in winter leaves nothing to be desired. A highlight for the whole family, for example, is the varied 5-lake trail with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.

Look forward to 360 kilometers of pistes with views of the Matterhorn and almost 40 other four-thousand-metre peaks in Europe's highest ski area! For a refreshment stop, there are restaurants on the slopes that are second to none in the world. The restaurants and mountain huts in the ski area are correspondingly busy, which is why tables should be reserved in advance. If you don't have your own ski equipment with you, you can hire modern equipment from our partner Matterhorn Sport at Haus Riva, just a three-minute walk away.

From baked goods, mountain sports articles, sports fashion and outdoor clothing to watches and bijous, you will find everything your heart desires in the Zermatt stores. Swiss chocolate specialties, crispy mountaineer bread and chocolate Matterhörnli are also very popular with our guests.
