About
Zermatt sits at the foot of the Matterhorn and offers year-round skiing on the Klein Matterhorn glacier. The ski area connects with Cervinia in Italy for 360km of pistes. The car-free village is charming and the views are extraordinary — the Matterhorn backdrop to every run is simply unmatched.
The Mountain
Matterhorn Glacier Paradise to Cervinia — the 20km cross-border run with the Matterhorn always in view.
Ideal Conditions
High pressure, cold temperatures, fresh snow on the glacier, clear visibility for the view.
