Zermatt Ski Holidays

Beautiful car-free streets, exceptional luxury hotels, pristine pistes spread across the Swiss-Italian border, soaring views of the Matterhorn – need we say more? Get ready to fall under Zermatt’s spell as you discover one of the world’s most captivating resorts. 

Explore the slopes

Linked with the Italian resort of Cervinia, Zermatt boasts a vast 360km ski area with everything from gently undulating beginner slopes to demanding black runs and some incredible off-piste terrain.

There is a choice of beginner areas located high up on the mountain. This ensures not only great snow conditions but allows groups of mixed ability skiers to meet up easily for lunch at one of the great mountain restaurants.  There is also a fantastic choice of ski schools, many of which are British-run.

Intermediates can explore to their hearts’ content, even taking a day to ski over to Italy for lunch. Tear up long, leg-burning reds, dabble in some off-piste (with a guide) and head up to the ski area’s highest point at a staggering 3899m to enjoy the stunning panoramic views.

Advanced skiers and riders will find a wealth of fantastic off-piste and itinerary runs to challenge them. Why not try a heli-skiing experience to make the most of the incredible terrain in the shadow of the mighty Matterhorn?
