Car-free streets, world-class skiing and long mountain lunches. Zermatt is the Alps at their most enchanting.
Few places capture alpine winter quite like Zermatt. The village is car-free, the Matterhorn watches over every street, and the ski area stretches across the border into Italy. It suits keen skiers and those who prefer the view from a sunny terrace equally well.
On the mountain
With a private ski guide, you can make the most of the conditions and cross to Cervinia for lunch in Italy. For non-skiers, the Gornergrat railway, scenic flights and snowshoe walks offer the same spectacular scenery at a gentler pace.
Where to stay
Choose between a fully staffed private chalet, with a chef and host, or one of the village's grand hotels, where spa time and fireside evenings are part of the ritual. Both put the slopes and the village within easy reach.

We arrange the rail transfers from Zurich or Geneva, fit ski equipment before you arrive, reserve the mountain restaurants worth booking ahead, and pair you with a guide matched to your ability. Our partners look after the details, so all you need to do is enjoy the mountain.
