Zermatt/Breuil-Cervinia/Valtournenche - Matterhorn
Switzerland
1 / 18Zermatt / Breuil-Cervinia / Valtournenche - Matterhorn ski resort in Switzerland's Valais and Italy's Aosta Valley.
Trail information
The Matterhorn ski area reaches from Switzerland into Italy: the Swiss entrance is at car-free Zermatt, reached by train, the Italian ones at Breuil-Cervinia and Valtournenche. Zermatt is ringed by thirty-eight four-thousand-metre peaks, and the lift to the Klein Matterhorn climbs to almost four thousand metres itself - the highest skiing in the Alps. The Theodul glacier keeps the area open in summer as well, with snow year-round. The longest descent, from the Klein Matterhorn down to Zermatt, adds up to sixteen kilometres.

What visitors say about the resort
Reviews describe Zermatt as a resort where everything comes together: the Matterhorn outside your window, skiing up to 3,900 m, access to Italian Cervinia on one lift pass and a car-free village. Visitors praise the long season - the glacier operates year-round - and the quality of piste grooming.
The main and almost only complaint is the price. The lift pass, accommodation and food in Zermatt are described as the most expensive in the Alps, and the advice to "have lunch on the Italian side" comes up repeatedly in reviews. The second issue is the distance: the ski area is huge, and getting around takes a lot of time. In bad weather, the upper lifts close and skiing is limited to the lower sectors.
