That's why my brother and I took it upon ourselves to bring you the Ultimate Travel Guide for Zermatt. Located on the border between Switzerland and Italy at a height of 3899 meters with 360 kilometers of endless slopes. The most remarkable feature is; Zermatt offers snow 365 days per year and receives 300 inches of snow annually, now that is very hard to beat!

Find the best attractions in Zermatt:


The first thing upon arrival at Zermatt station is to rent your ski or snowboard gear so you can go up the mountains in the early morning without any hassles. A good start is the Gornergrat, to get there you can jump on the highest-altitude cogwheel railway in Europe which ends at the highest hotel in Switzerland, the Kulmhotel, from here you can also set eyes on the mountain in Switzerland, the Monte Rosa Massif. After you day on the slopes have dinner at the unique Chez Heini restaurant for their bizarre Red High Heel Soup, usually the soup of the day and their extremely juicy lamb chops. Alternatively, feast on the Swiss traditional dish Raclette at Du Pont restaurant, the oldest restaurant in Zermatt.

The most unique attraction in Zermatt is by far the Cheese Fondue in an Igloo experience. For 70 Swiss francs or 70 US dollars you will join a tour group venturing out the Iglu-dorf located in the mountains near the Riffelberg station. Inside the giant Iglu-dorf complex, created out of igloos, you will be welcoming with a warm cup of mulled red wine and presented with the most incredible cheese fondue experience while you enjoy the live music, every Thursday!

The Iglu-dorf is basically a giant hotel complex with many rooms, a love-nest and a bar complete with a jacuzzi. Renting a igloo room for one night can be quite expensive but an experience for a lifetime. Why wouldn't you want to wake up among gorgeous crafted ice sculptures of wild animals ranging from buffalos to eagles.

Downtown Zermatt has plenty to offer as well, from a stroll through the ancient Hinterdorf street where you can get lost between 30 elevated barns, stables and storage units built between the 15th and 19th century. Don't forget to drop by the Matterhorn Museum - Zermatlantis and the St. Mauritius church for a true local experience.

Zermatt even has their own beer brewery. They offer 4 flavours for each season which you can enjoy at the many venues downtown, like Harry's Bar or Little Bar. For an epic night out, visit Hotel Post which has a gigantic nightlife complex of multiple stories offering many bars, dancefloors and a variety of live music & DJ's. Namely; Broken Bar and The Factory.

Alpen Resort Hotel may the best place to stay in Zermatt for their great breakfast buffet, panorama rooms looking over Zermatt with views of the Matterhorn, a games room, and a giant pool in the basement, complete with a Finnish spa, roman steam bath, hot tub and a fully decked out gym.

The Matterhorn mountain is the most famous attraction in Zermatt, most tourists come to Zermatt to enjoy this breath-taking sight. The Matterhorn ski pass is an international one, which allows you to ski into Italy and back into Switzerland without problems, it is the only winter sport resort with such an unique feature. Spent at least 2 to 3 days in Zermatt to fully grasp the magic of this wonderful village. The Swiss Travel Pass covers free transit in Switzerland on trains, boats, buses and cable cars and 420 museums in Switzerland. 240 CHF, $240 US dollars, it would be a mistake visiting Switzerland without it.

Zermatt Switzerland – Best Things to do during Winter – Beautiful Alpine Panorama [Travel Guide]

Zermatt is the place to seek amazing panoramic views up in the Swiss Alps. One of the world's most famous peaks can be spotted in here: The iconic MATTERHORN. Zermatt is a very pretty village, in particular during winter, it's touristy, but for a good reason! There are a lot of things one can do up there! The probably most-known panorama you could get at the Gornergrat. You may get up there by taking a train that costs around 110.- CHF for return. Up there, you will get to see the Matterhorn from the side. Other very important things to see are the massive Gorner glacier, Dufourspitze (Monte Rosa) and the Kleinmatterhorn. A notably cheaper peak to visit - and my personal favorite panorama - would be the Rothorn. You would need to take an underground funicular, followed by 2 cabin rides. Up on the Rothorn, you get a brilliant frontal view over the Matterhorn; in my opinion the best view! Surely during Winter, the panorama up there looks stunning! Visit also the village of Zermatt. It charms with its many traditional wooden houses that are stereotypical for the canton of Valais / Wallis. There is a section at where you will get to see many of them, which is located at the Hinterdorfstrasse. This is a great place to take memorable photos. Also walk along the river Vispa, from there you get a nice bottom view over the Matterhorn, beautiful to take photos with the village in the foreground. The main road called Bahnhofstrasse is the touristy centre of Zermatt. It can be crowded but it sort of feels lovely! There are many restaurants at where you can dine at. The village is in particular nice during the sunset and dusk. During December/January/February/March, the village transforms into a perfect Winter Wonderland during the night! Also visit the Kleinmatterhorn, the highest alpine station you could visit in the Swiss Alps and even in Europe! The Kleinmatterhorn is located on 3890m above sea level. Thus, it is already very high up! You will feel the thin air, but somehow it's also quite exciting! Visit the ice palace (Matterhorn Glacier Paradise), which is a manmade cave inside the glacier. There, you can see many carved ice figures.

This video was sponsored by Hotel Christiania Zermatt. The HOTEL CHRISTIANIA is a nice wellness Hotel, owned by a Swiss family. It's very authentic, great locally Swiss cuisine, alpine feeling and the interior is very cozy. A great hotel to take it easy and also relax. See more:

3 incredible days in Zermatt - Riding the famous Gornergrat Bahn

After leaving Lausanne, we headed towards the iconic town of Zermatt where we stayed for 3 days. We visited the Zermatt Matterhorn viewpoint, took the famous Gornergrat Bahn for an epic day of hiking, and finally visited Sunnegga station and hiked down to Zermatt. We would love to visit the Blaudherd station in the future (closed when we visited) as well as the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise.

Gornergrat, Switzerland: One of the best places to visit in Switzerland

One of the best mountain destinations in Switzerland ????

????Gornergrat, Switzerland

✨We visited Gornergrat from Zermatt and were blown away looking at the beautiful mountain ranges. The main attraction here is the Gorner glacier, one of the most beautiful glaciers in Switzerland.

????How to reach
From Zermatt take the gornergrat rail, one of the most beautiful and scenic rides in Switzerland. The ticket costs 126 CHF per person but you can get it for 63 CHF using the half fare card like we did. The views from this train are heavenly ! You can spot Matterhorn literally from your seat ! Sit on the right side for the best views of Matterhorn ????

✨ What to do
Once you reach the station, you will see panoramic views of Swiss Mountains. You can also spot the Matterhorn which on a clear day looks fabulous. There is also a Matterhorn photo point. But the main attraction is Gorner Glacier which looks absolutely jaw dropping. You can see it from so close ! There are various viewpoints and also a small hike to see 360 views.

✨There is a hotel, restaurants and few shops as well here. Don’t forget to have a cup of coffee with the view of Matterhorn????

Note: The Gornergrat Rail is hop-on, hop-off, you can get down at Rotenboden station and do a small hike to see Rifflesee lake which is absolutely breathtaking and from there you can see the Matterhorn reflection ????

The perfect train ride in Zermatt ????????The Matterhorn is watching you! The Gornergrat Railway ????
