Zermatt, in southern Switzerland’s Valais canton, is renowned for skiing, climbing, and hiking.

Zermatt Ski Holiday Guide
While St. Moritz boasts glitz, Verbier exudes cool, and Wengen offers pristine pistes, Zermatt surpasses them all with the iconic Matterhorn. Standing at 4,478 meters, the Matterhorn is one of the most photographed mountains in the world, casting its majestic shadow over the village. Zermatt residents, proud of the Matterhorn and the pristine Alpine air, have banned cars from the village, ensuring no smog and imbuing Zermatt with a freshness and tranquility that is truly special. Electric taxis or, for a luxury option, fur-lined sleighs navigate the village, emphasizing that Zermatt is not just about speed but about style. The village is surrounded by 38 peaks above 4,000 meters, and Zermatt’s four interconnected ski sectors – Rothorn, Gornergrat, Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, and Schwarzsee – offer a winter wonderland.
Apart from a challenging climb, there is a luxurious alternative to get up close and personal with the Matterhorn – take a helicopter. Soar above Zermatt, appreciating the majesty of the Matterhorn. For an affordable cost you can experience the allure of this iconic mountain. If high altitudes aren’t your preference, indulge in a romantic adventure down in the valleys with husky sleighing, reminiscent of an Omar Sharif moment from Dr. Zhivago. For just over GBP 100, you can experience the thrill of husky dog sleighing in Zermatt’s white wonderland, offering luxurious activities all year round, including summer skiing and Alpine adventures that were once mere dreams.
The Matterhorn’s Historical Significance
Zermatt witnessed intense competition to be the first to climb the so-called unclimbable Matterhorn. In 1865, after numerous failed attempts, Group 7, led by the British explorer Edward Whymper, finally reached the 4,500m high summit. However, the descent turned tragic when four of the seven climbers slipped and fell to their deaths. This disaster gripped the world, and since then, the Matterhorn has held a fascination for intrepid climbers and explorers.
