Why Zermatt is Highly Rated for Snowboarders

Zermatt's scored a massive 4.69/5.00 from our snowboarding community, and it's easy to see why riders keep coming back for more. The terrain here is properly snowboard-friendly. We're talking wide, sweeping groomers that let you carve your heart out, plus plenty of space to open up and let loose. Advanced snowboarder Trey from the States mentioned the epic views and perfect weather, whilst expert boarder Stu from Canada raved about "amazing experience snowboarding to Italy riding powder on the sides of runs" and specifically called out the "great parks." Intermediate rider Jessica from the UK summed it up brilliantly: "Best resort by far... the runs are epic." You've got the variety to keep things interesting, from mellow cruisers where you can work on technique to more challenging lines that'll test your skills.

Our reviewers mention that getting around is simple. Intermediate snowboarder Bek highlighted how "lifts are super simple to use and getting around is easy." The parks get proper love from riders too, with multiple users referencing quality features that cater to different levels. Expert boarder Harrison noted it's "amazing for people wanting to ski in luxury" whilst still delivering on the riding front. When you've got glacier riding, the ability to shred across to Italy, and terrain that keeps intermediate through expert riders stoked all day, plus what Stu called "incredible après ski on the way down the mountain," you've got yourself a complete package that deserves top marks.

Community Review

Zermatt, Switzerland 🇨🇭
"This is the best resort of all abilities. Although no green runs, a lot of the blues are very wide and easy to ride. The lifts throughout the resort are easy to use and efficient. "

About the Snomad Ski Resort Awards

The Snomad Ski Resort Awards are the most authentic and unbiased recognition in the ski industry, based entirely on genuine guest experiences from real skiers and snowboarders.

Unlike other awards that rely on paid nominations or allow resorts to collect their own votes, ours are determined by verified ratings from actual visitors who have experienced these resorts firsthand.

This approach ensures that winning resorts truly deserve recognition based on guest satisfaction rather than marketing budgets or social media follower counts, providing you with trustworthy recommendations for your next mountain adventure.
