Spend in Zermatt, the Swiss canton of
Valais, your skiing holiday in front of the unique scenery of the
Matterhorn, the most-famous landmark of Zermatt and whole Switzerland.
Moreover, the further 29 fourthousander peaks around Zermatt offer a
breathtaking panorama.
Skiing and snowboarding
The altogether 183 marked kilometres of ski runs of Zermatt are
distributed on three varied skiing areas, which are linked with each
other. Each of the three areas offers from black runs, to mogul slopes
through to pleasure slopes the right terrain to fulfil each demand.
The Sunnegga Rothorn area attracts above all families and pleasure
skiers, which feel well on the sunny and moderate slopes.
At the Gornergrat you can likewise enjoy the wonderful landscape in
conjunction with unique views, whereby on the northern slopes of
Hohtälli and Stockhorn there are mogul fields for real expert skiers.

The Klein Matterhorn ski area is the highest point you can reach. The
ski runs over the wide glacier area to the Trockenen Steg are also for
not so skilled skiers a very impressive experience. The descent from
Klein Matterhorn down in the valley to Zermatt has with 17 km a
considerable length.
From Klein Matterhorn via the Theodulpass you have the possibility to
change over to the Italian ski area around Cervinia. With the
coalition of Zermatt’s ski runs and the runs near Cervinia and
Valtournenche on the Italian side the "Matterhorn Ski Paradise" covers
an area with altogether 350 km of wonderful marked ski runs.
Winter sportsmen who prefer to enjoy offside from the mass tourism can
find various offers for ski routes, variant skiing or also heli-skiing
and heli snowboarding.
Snowboard specials
In all the three skiing areas snowboarders find special facilities,
which promise much fun and action. At the Klein Matterhorn glacier
lures the Funpark "Gravity Park" with superpipe, halfpipe, kicker and
rails as well as a little below at the Trockenen Steg a further
Funpark with kicker line, rails, corner and boxes. In the area of
Rothorn /Sunnegga you find a Funpark with halfpipe and kickers at the
Sunshine Bar next to the Blauherd lift station. At the Rotenboden
between Gornergrat and Riffelberg lures halfpipe, tables, bumps,
slides and quarterpipe.
Cross-country skiing
The offer of cross-country ski runs around Zermatt is rather modest.
Together with the villages of Täsch and Randa this region comprises
only 12 kilometres, which are mainly suitable as an extra or an offset
to the alpine winter sports.
