Zermatt - Community Reviews & Ratings

The most spectacular and iconic ski resort I have visited, picture perfect but comes at a price. Love the fact that you can ski over to Italy and have a fine lunch for half the cost on the Swiss side, and the piste down into Cervinia is epic. The skiing and infrastructure is noticeably better on the Swiss side. The Valley run down from the top back to Zermatt goes on forever and is also epic. I couldn't afford to go every year but will be returning at some point, it is a must do for any serious skiier and boarder.

Love the village, the scenery, variety of skiing, mountain and village restaurants, the Matterhorn of course and the history regarding Isobelle climbing it.

Zermatt is an amazing Verfall amazing Resort- the village is full of life and always something happening. There are plenty of slopes and even more if you get the ski pass that allows to go to Italian side as well. I will say there arent great options for beginner skiers as most slopes even the blues have tricky parts- cervinia has better slopes for beginners. Skiing on the glacier is the most amazing thing and being able to see the Matterhorn is truley a memorable experience. Overall definitely worth a visit there really is no where like it however it is obviously an expensive place.

Trip of a lifetime. We went with our grown children and spouses. It was incredible, The skiing was excellant. Village was perfect. My favorite ski area so far in my lifetime.

Been here a few times and it is hard to see past it. Stunning scenery, great variety of runs, long runs with huge vertical. Most amazing neverending run down to Valtournenche in Italy. Not the cheapest but the best!

Zermatt is a skiers paradise! Epically long runs, efficient lifts, not overly crowded. The town is picturesque and chocolate-box perfect. Not the cheapest of resorts, dining out and drinking is expensive compared to Cervinia on the other side of the Italian border. However, gong to Zermatt knowing this, try not to think about it and enjoy a luxury experience - its expensive, but super high quality. The best skiing is definitely when the link to Italy is open - including one of Europes longest runs from the top of Matterhorn Glacier Paradise all the way to the bottom of Furi in the village below - a thigh burning 15kms and over 2500m vertical. Be sure to stop in at Hennu Stall or Cervo for first class Apres-ski.

Best ski place in the Alps. Nice village with lot of atmosphere. Highest point in Europe go take a downhillLongest diwnhill in ZwitserlandBest food

Zermatt is great for skiing when you're a beginner, as quieter than other resorts. If you're looking for luxury and a more civilised apres ski - this is the place!

Pros - Beautiful village with a great setting in the mountains, good options for eating out, shopping, and bars. Ski lifts not too busy and large ski area with well maintained runs, gets a fair amount of snow and temperatures are low enough. The glacier at the top of the ski area is amazing!Cons - Very expensive restaurants and shops, especially with exchange rates for the swiss franc. The ski area not as big as some other areas e.g. The 3 valleys ski area.

Loved the train to the observatory and the tram ran well.The town offered a lot to see including fun shopping and great food.Views were amazing to wake up to each morning

Small charming village with great views from the Matterhorn.Groomed slopes are amazing and they have many skiable kilometers.Mostly blues and reds. Few options for offpiste and powder.

Been twice - could go again and still find new places to explore not even including the Italian side. Amazing lifts, views, varied terrain, village, on mountain restaurants and apres. Easy to access via trains direct from the airport. Easy transportation to the mtn via the bus in town.

Great resort -But beware about lift times, some shut as early as 3pm and the lift can take 45 min - 1 hour from town to the top.

Beautiful and iconic place! Large resort. The slopes were icy in most places, however it was great to ski with such beautiful views. Delicious food options.

Very scenic runs below the matterhorn. High resort with good snow quality and lots of off piste routes some even noted on the piste maps. Fast lifts and trains although mostly cable cars. Some of the longest runs in the alps. Town is pretty but expensive, pass is cheaper if staying on the Italian side.

Wonderful resort in a charming pedestrianised town. But very expensive. You can get the same quality of skiing at more affordable prices elsewhere.

Amazing quiet long runs and very good quality food and drink options . early on in season not all runs open, very snow sure.Not good value for money

Not many tree runs at all here, but otherwise no complaints! The runs do seem to run narrow compared to many of the resorts Ive visited. Apres at hennu stall was one of my favorites ever! The town has lots of food and drink options and is easy to get around. Was my first time skiing abroad (from US) but would highly recommend!

The greatest week surrounded by likeminded people, enjoying open slopes with great weather. An incredible journey from the train in, to great lifts / gondolas to amazing conditions. Well be back!

Ski in Zermatt three times and loved it everytime. There wasnt enough snow when I went to do proper off-iste but that did not stop me from enjoying the groomed piste that were not icy. Nothing beats the après-ski at hennustall and eating at the various mountain restaurants.Bonus points for the car dree village
