In the shadow of the legendary Matterhorn (4,478 m.) and among about 40 peaks reaching 4,000 meters, Zermatt is an experience that you will hardly find anywhere else in the world. That is why for the last 2 years it has been voted the best ski resort in world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And not without reason! With a system of slopes that reaches 365 kilometers, the highest lift in the world and a charming village, Zermatt is truly the best mountain destination we have ever visited!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The village<\/strong><\/h6>\n

From almost all sides of the village, your eye can gaze upon the mountain, the "myth" of alpinism, the Matterhorn<\/em> (Matterhorn). You have surely seen it on the wrapper of the famous Swiss chocolate Toblerone. The mountain stands proud like a pyramid on the border of Italy and Switzerland and is undoubtedly one of the brand names of the country. It is considered the most photographed mountain in the world!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On top of everything else, the village is car-free. The only vehicles that circulate are electric vans, bicycles and horse-drawn carriages! The whole atmosphere creates a feeling of unprecedented calm and serenity.<\/p>\n

How will you get there?<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The best way is by train from Zurich. The route is beautiful and believe me, you have never had a similar experience to the one offered by the Swiss Railways! Quality, punctuality, landscapes and amenities that you don't easily find elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Zermatt is beautiful all year round. If you're interested in skiing, the best time is undoubtedly mid-January to mid-March (although due to the glacier, skiing is possible 365 days a year). You'll find deals on accommodation after the Lights and until January 15th and in the spring.<\/p>\n

Travel prepared<\/strong><\/h6>\n

While packing my gear for the slopes of Zermatt, I realized that the true luxury of an Alpine getaway is the peace of mind that allows you to enjoy every moment without a worry in the world. Personally, for my trips involving mountain activities, I rely on SafetyWing<\/b> and Nomad Insurance<\/b>What really won me over is its incredible flexibility; it works like a subscription that you can start even if you\u2019ve already arrived at your mountain chalet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s incredibly reassuring to know I have 24\/7 coverage for medical emergencies, as well as for mishaps like lost equipment or weather-related flight delays. Regarding skiing specifically, I love that their basic plan covers amateur sports activities with no hidden fees. Plus, if you\u2019re traveling with family, the free coverage for children under 10 is a massive perk. If you\u2019re planning your next getaway, definitely check out their plans here <\/a>as it\u2019s one of the most affordable and reliable solutions I\u2019ve come across in recent years.<\/p>\n

Skiing and snow games<\/strong><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Even if you're not a skier, there are so many things to do in Zermatt that you're sure to never get bored. Book your lift pass online<\/a> to achieve the best possible price!<\/p>\n

\u2013 When you go up to Matterhorn<\/em> (that's where the highest lift in the world is at 3883m.) you should definitely go to Glacier Palace<\/em> located 15 meters below the glacier. Ice sculptures, crevasses in the glacier and an ice rink create a fairy tale atmosphere. Returning to the village on skis you will encounter the Hennu Stall<\/em> where after noon the fun kicks in! Stop for mulled wine and apr\u00e8s ski. Tip<\/strong>: The Klein Matterhorn should be your first choice when you arrive because it may not always operate due to weather.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Don't forget to ski down to the Italian side to the Cervinia<\/em> and Valtournence<\/em>.<\/p>\n\r\n
