Zermatt Walking Tour
Zermatt, Switzerland
Why Walk Zermatt
Zermatt sits at 1,620 meters in a valley dominated by the Matterhorn — the iconic pyramid-shaped peak that towers over the village. The town bans motor vehicles, reachable only by train, and has preserved its wooden chalet character. A network of mountain railways, cable cars, and hiking trails provides access to some of the most dramatic Alpine scenery in Switzerland.
