Zermatt

Overview of Zermatt Ski Resort, Switzerland

Many believe Zermatt is the leading Swiss ski resort, and its easy to see why. With a super-modern lift system reaching nearly 3,900m above sea level, you'll find yourself higher than any other resort in Europe and enjoying the planet’s second biggest lift served vertical of nearly 2400m. That altitude allows for descents of up to 21km (13 miles), again among the world’s longest. 

Then there is the resort of Zermatt itself, built in the attractive Swiss chalet style and dominated by the iconic Matterhorn.
