Zermatt is best known as a year-round mountain resort in the beautiful Swiss Alps.  Sitting at the base of the iconic Matterhorn and less than three miles away from the Gornergrat and its scenic cog railway, Zermatt has evolved from a sleepy little village into one of Europe’s premier ski resorts and sightseeing destinations.  Close to 30 peaks soaring 13,000 feet or higher are in the immediate area, blessing Zermatt with one of the most stunning locations in all of Europe.
