Zermatt Piste Information

Piste Information
Zermatt is a well-established and highly-regarded international ski resort, with a vast amount of terrain covering 3 mountains - each scaling over 3,000m. The amount of mainly above tree-line skiing means it's an ideal resort for intermediates and advanced skiers, and the extensive lift system makes it easy to access the huge array of varied slopes. The spectacular backdrop of some of the highest peaks in the Alps, including the majestic Matterhorn, adds to the resorts' appeal, as does the fairy-tale setting of the traditional Swiss village.
