Zermatt

Dominating the Swiss Alps beneath the iconic Matterhorn, Zermatt offers a high-altitude, car-free paradise with skiing 365 days a year on its glacial slopes. It's part of one of the world's largest international ski areas, connected to Cervinia in Italy. The resort is famed for its extensive, sun-drenched pistes, challenging off-piste terrain, and sophisticated, upscale atmosphere. Efficient lift systems, including underground funiculars and modern gondolas, service the vast domain.

While pricing is in the luxury tier, the combination of reliable snow, breathtaking scenery, gourmet restaurants, and a charming village built around traditional chalets creates an unmatched alpine experience.
