ZERMATT - In Resort
Skiing in Zermatt is about scale, variety, and flow. The area is split across three main sectors - Sunnegga-Rothorn, Gornergrat, and Klein Matterhorn - each offering a different feel and terrain. With snow-sure conditions from early December through late spring, it’s a place where you can ski with confidence, whatever the week brings.
Intermediates love the long, rolling runs from Rothorn and Gornergrat, with panoramic descents that seem to go on forever. Stronger skiers gravitate towards the high-altitude glacier terrain and off-piste routes accessed from Klein Matterhorn, where the skiing feels more rugged and alpine. The link to Italy adds another dimension, with wide, confidence-boosting pistes down into Cervinia and the option to mix Swiss precision with a more relaxed Italian pace.
Away from the technicalities, Zermatt is also one of the best places in the Alps for long-lunch skiing - world-class mountain dining, sunlit terraces, and days that feel unhurried even when you’ve covered serious mileage.
We’ll help you plan ski days that make sense, whether that’s choosing the best direction for weather and light, arranging guiding for off-piste days, or simply helping you avoid bottlenecks at peak times. The goal is always the same: more time skiing, less time figuring things out.
