Description Zermatt is located at the foot of the Matterhorn, in the middle of a vast hiking and skiing network. This unique geographical location makes it one of the most famous resorts in the world. The Zermatt ski area has 54 mountain lifts and cable cars and over 360 km of ski slopes. The area is known as the "Matterhorn glacier paradise" and is the largest and highest summer ski area in the world. Ski teams from many countries receive summer training here. In the eyes of mountaineers, the Zermatt area is legendary: the Haute Route from Mont Blanc to Zermatt is an internationally challenging mountaineering route that takes several days to complete. The more than 400km long climbing route crosses the entire Mattertal Valley, including a trade route used by mule traders dating back to the 13th century. Winter In winter, three ski areas with plenty of snow and ice: Sunnegga-Rothorn, Gornergrat-Stockhorn and Schwarzsee and Matterhorn glacier paradise, offer a total of 360 kilometers of ski slopes. Skiers and freestylers can hone their skiing skills at Snowpark Zermatt, where many Olympic-level athletes also train. From the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise or the Theodulpass you can cross the border into the Italian ski areas of Breuil-Cervinia and Valtournenche. Those looking for a different experience can try their hand at paragliding or heli-skiing with the guidance of an experienced mountain guide. Summer Hiking, cycling, climbing and mountain touring are popular activities in summer and autumn. Every year, this 4,000-meter peak attracts many mountain climbing experts to travel. The 400-kilometer hiking trail allows non-mountaineering tourists to enjoy the surrounding scenery on foot. An open-air rack railway line provides passenger services between Zermatt and Gornergrat, a mountain range at 3,089 meters high. Standing on the summit, you can see the Matterhorn, the glacier and the Monte-Rosa massif. Europe's highest viewing point is at 3,883 meters above sea level, where visitors can take a cable car to enjoy the stunning panoramic view of the Matterhorn (4,478 meters) and the peaks of the Swiss, Italian and French Alps. 15 meters below the ice, there is a magical glacier palace. There are six ski lifts and cable cars for passengers to choose from, and climb to the top of the mountain to admire the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. The ski resort on the Theodul Glacier is the highest summer ski resort in the Alps. Family and Parenting Zermatt - Matterhorn Family Resort also provides child care services all year round. There, visitors can see the resort's mascot "Wolli" everywhere. Wolli the sheep will meet guests on the resort's themed trails, and children under 9 can ski for free throughout the ski area - there's also a skating rink, a cheese factory and a climbing wall lobby. Crystal-clear mountain lakes also invite visitors to swim, and nature adventures and the exciting Forest Fun Park are also available. #weekend tour #overseas tour #Swiss travel #snow mountain #Zermatt #Matterhorn
