Zermatt Flights & Travel Guide

Zermatt is one of Switzerland’s best-known ski resorts and thanks to the 36 lifts that operate during ski season it’s easy to see why. Zermatt is positioned at the foot of the highest peak in the country – the Matterhorn – and provides picturesque views of the Swiss Alps. Zermatt is an old-Swiss mountain village that features chalets and cafes that keep tourists out-and-about in the village. The flight to Zermatt is the last part of modern travel you’ll likely take during your Zermatt vacation – the village is restricted to cars and can only be reached via railway. If your flight to Zermatt is during the summer season rest assured there’s plenty to do – hiking, climbing and paragliding are just a few of the activities available to travelers, and the nightlife is sure to keep any tourist entertained.

Zermatt Insider Information

• Use the superfast lift up to Gornergrat for skiing that suits most abilities. The Riffelalp area is the easiest.  The Matterhorn is the mountain that dominates Zermatt and the off-piste skiing is excellent.
• Walk in the middle of the road as no cars are allowed.  In fact electric cars and the ski-bus do go along, as well as horses pulling people in carriages, but the lack of traffic gives the resort a special secluded feel.
• Make the most of the cheese.  Fondue has become known the world over as traditional Swiss dish.  If you lose your piece of bread from your fork and it disappears into the bubbling pot of cheese you have to pay a forfeit.
