Join my tour through Zermatt in Switzerland and it's highlights - my best tipps for one of the finest destinations of the alps for wintersports with possibilities to ski year round and a car-free fairytale village.
Have you ever been dreaming of a real winter wonderland? Of a place where glaciers cover part of the mountains, where the wind dances with clouds and where snow wraps the rocky peaks like a soft blanket? This place exists in a valley in Switzerland. Welcome to Zermatt - a car- free village in the Swiss mountains.
After taking the Lötschberg car train from Kandersteg to Goppenstein we left our vehicle in Täsch - to approach car free Zermatt with it's customized electric vehicles. We rented an apartment in the quarter Winkelmatt (close to the cablecar that goes to Trockener Steg / Zermatt Glacier Paradies).
Here are my favorite things to do in Zermatt:
- Ski the breathtaking slopes
- Enjoy the view on Matterhorn, one of the most famous mountains in the world!
- Have lunch in a mountain hut at the sunny terrace of a restaurant and try Swiss Rösti or the speciality of canton vallais - the "Käseschnitte"
- Cross the border to Italy on skis!
- Discover the old town of Zermatt with its 500 year old barns and traditional houses
- Shop at idyllic Bahnhofstrasse in Zermatt Downtown
- Hike the surrounding mountains of Zermatt (e.g. to the cross over Zermatt, from where you have a fantastic view!)
- visit the highest viewing plattform of Eruope and the alps on 3883 meters altitude and spot 38 4000 meter high peaks and 14 glaciers in the surrounding mountains
PLEASE NOTE:
Flying drones over the village Zermatt and the skiing area is strictly forbidden due to the close helicopter airports and swiss drone regulations! I operated my drone with a special permit from Air Zermatt.
