The Skiers' Guide to Zermatt

amazing resort lots of slopes due to easy access to cervinia snow was great lifts were great skiing was great highly highly recommend

-Pistes are very well groomed
-Lifts are extremely safe comfortable and efficient
-There was not enough snow to do off pistes unless u use a guide and heli skiing
-Canadian dollar exchange rate is brutal
-Big maps at the tops of lifts would be useful I think
-Love that Zermatt has no cars, it smells better and way more pretty this way !
-Trains to get to the village are very efficient.

We had a very large snowstorm which resulted in closures for most days, but of the days we did ski, there was a wide range of pistes, all of which were well maintained. To note: it takes quite a long time to get to the Glacier Paradise section that borders Italy, so this should be factored into plans. The main downside for us was the inaccessibility of the resort, with the very small train being the main way in.

Groomers paradise — you can spend all day taking 30+ minutes routes back and forth across the mountain with insane views. Unless it snowed overnight, there won’t be any kind of powder or moguls. If it does snow, the downside is that they seem to close a lot of the upper terrain.

On mountain dining is fantastic (we did chez vrony and findlerhof) and good apres bars like champagne bar and hennustall are skiable.

The village though is very dense with like 70+ bars/restaurants. If you want to go cheap, buy your food at the Coop takeout section and grab beers at Harry’s or z’alt hischi depending on your vibe (Harry’s is packed, hischi is super quiet). For classier, there’s really endless options. Stay on the green bus line if you can for better access.

Visited for a week with my friends. Had the most fun ever. The groomed runs were great but they just got pretty busy closer to noon. If you go earlier in the morning it is amazing.

Amazing slopes and best scenic backdrops anywhere, would highly recommend to anyone well worth a visit

Beautiful resort with such extensive terrain. Barely queued for any lifts at the end of December, efficient lifts, wide groomed runs etc!

Amazing experience snowboarding to Italy riding powder on the sides of runs. Great parks. Incredible apres ski on the way down the mountain.

If you want guaranteed snow and dont mind paying the extra £££, Zermatt is for you! Lifts are super simple to use and getting around is easy

The resort was really good. The staff was friendly. The hotels were nice and clean. It was a perfect ski-in and ski-out. The social life, with the parties after, was really good. The ski slopes, anything you could imagine really, from double blacks to all that stuff, were really awesome. It was a good time; it had a good vibe.

Great resort with huge offering of slopes. Great lifts and management, although it is rather expensive

If you want some sick glacier runs and dont mind paying a little bit more £££ for guaranteed snow, then Zermatt is the one!

Awesome spring skiing on the Klein Matterhorn. Skied to Italy for a pasta lunch then rode the lifts back to Zermatt for an elic descent. No crowds. Winter high up and spring in town.

Zermatt is truly so magical. Between the no cars in town to elite mountain view’s and apres, it truly cannot be beat!

Luxury ski resort and the heated chairlifts are the bomb however get ready this spend some cash but you can ski over to Italy where it is cheaper

Best resort by fair. All lifts are close to town. Apres is best experienced. And the runs are epic.

Amazing hotels and everyone is so kind and snow is one of a kind and loved skiing into italy!! Wish i could do it again

A wonderful place for all ages and has a lot to offer including a wide range of runs where you can ski across boarders and is amazing for the families who want to ski in luxury

Zermatt is a super luxurious and peaceful resort. Where the snow is all year round and in mid winter is amazing where there is a tonne of powder and lots of options for all levels. It’s amazing for the people wanting to ski in luxury and to experience skiing at its finest. I would say the snowpark isn’t the best there is to offer in the alps and the onslope apre ski is good however other places in the alps have better to offer.

Efficient lift system. Narrow home runs are busy. Fine if you’re intermediate. Can also get funitel down to resort. Not great for beginners. Great restaurants, but need to book. Well groomed pistes. Good snow quality. Beautiful town with a lot of shops. Expensive
