Zermatt, Switzerland
Some mountains need no introduction.
Zermatt sits beneath the Matterhorn and combines one of skiing’s most recognisable settings with an enormous high-altitude international ski area. Local skiing spreads across Sunnegga-Rothorn, Gornergrat and Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, while an international pass extends across the border into Cervinia and Valtournenche in Italy. The altitude is exceptional, with lifts reaching Matterhorn Glacier Paradise at 3,883m, while the car-free village below brings together historic streets, renowned mountain restaurants and an atmosphere that feels as important to the experience as the skiing itself.
