Winter Sports

Enjoy 360 kilometers of slopes in Europe’s highest ski resort, with views of the Matterhorn. The first-class dining options are very popular, so we recommend making a table reservation. You can conveniently rent ski equipment from our partner, Matterhorn Sport, at the nearby Haus Riva.

Hiking

A perfectly maintained network of hiking trails—400 kilometers in the summer and 70 kilometers in the winter—has something for everyone. One highlight for the whole family, for example, is the scenic 5-Lakes Trail, which offers magnificent views of the surrounding mountain giants.

Shopping

In Zermatt’s shops, you’ll find everything from baked goods and chocolate to mountaineering gear, fashion, and watches. Swiss chocolate specialties, crispy mountaineer’s bread, and chocolate Matterhörnli are especially popular with visitors—there’s something for everyone here.
