Zermatt, a resort like no other
Set in a stunning natural location
beneath the Matterhorn in south-west Switzerland, this old mountaineering
capital can only be reached by a small mountain train. A paradise for those
inclined to meditation or sports.
The Matterhorn, one of the most beautiful mountains in the world, dominates
the valley of Zermatt.
Zermatt is tangible proof that dreams are within reach and you don't have to
go to the ends of the earth to find sublime scenery... This car-free, chic
and cosmopolitan resort, nestling at an altitude of 1,620 m (5,315 ft), has
chalets and hotels that have managed to combine high luxury with a certain
mountain simplicity. People come here to recharge their batteries, and they
all find what they came for, from millionaire spa enthusiasts to skiers
passionate about unspoilt mountains (contrary to popular belief, there are
some cheap hotels).
