Zermatt rankings

Zermatt sits beneath the Matterhorn, with mountain railways and cableways connecting the village to glaciers, ski slopes and summer walking trails. The Gornergrat offers broad views across the high peaks, while lakes around Blauherd and Rotenboden reward a slower day on foot. Back in the village, the dark timber buildings of the Hinterdorf recall life before the grand hotels. Private cars stop at Täsch, so most visitors arrive by train and explore the centre on foot.
