Valais · Switzerland

Zermatt.

A mountain town worth lingering in — clear alpine air, beautiful walks and the kind of scenery that makes every journey through the valley feel part of the trip.

Getting there

Zermatt is car-free: arrive by train via Visp, then use the village’s electric taxis or walk.

Best time

Summer suits walks and high mountain views; winter is for skiing and a cosy alpine atmosphere.

Do not miss

Build in time for Gornergrat, village walks and the journey through the valley itself.
