The picturesque ‘Matterhorn Village’
Surrounded by some of Europe’s highest
mountains, the Matterhorn, Dom and
Monte Rosa and their dazzling glaciers,
Zermatt is a charming traffic-free
village with some amazing walking opportunities,
and the network of mountain trains
and cable cars makes access to the
higher trails easy. The Gornergrat
mountain train slowly takes visitors
up the mountain, giving wonderful views
of the Matterhorn and a breathtaking
circular panorama of all the nearby
peaks. For a close encounter with the
Matterhorn, take the gondola to Schwarzsee,
where there is an inviting restaurant with sun terrace, a tiny chapel ‘Mary of the Snow’- from here you feel you could almost reach out and touch the mountain! In the village itself, the quaint little streets are full of shops, boutiques, and mouth-watering pastry and chocolate shops.
