Snowy Peaks Dream✨

#hellochristmas Zermatt, Switzerland — car-free alpine village beneath the iconic Matterhorn, world-class skiing, and high-mountain charm. Ski or snowboard year-round on glacier slopes, ride the Gornergrat or Klein Matterhorn cogways for breathtaking panoramas, and hike alpine trails in summer. Stroll the traffic-free village of chalets, cozy mountain restaurants, and après-ski bars. Don’t miss mountain huts, heli‑rides, and gourmet dining (including Michelin options). When to go: - December–March: prime winter sports and snow conditions - June–September: hiking, climbing, and clear summer views - April & October: quieter shoulder seasons; some lifts may be limited Practical tips: - Zermatt is car-free — park in Täsch and take the shuttle train (20 min) or taxi. - Book accommodation and popular cable‑car tickets in advance during peak season. - Bring layered clothing and good mountain gear; weather changes fast at altitude. - Altitude: allow time to acclimatize; stay hydrated and avoid heavy exertion first day. - Use the Swiss Travel Pass for regional trains (check included lifts). Highlights: - Matterhorn vistas from Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn - Extensive ski terrain and glacier skiing - Scenic hikes (Five Lakes, Hörnliweg) and summer alpine trails - Gornergrat Railway & cable cars - Gourmet restaurants and alpine huts - Museums: Matterhorn Museum (Zermatlantis) #zermatt #matterhorn #switzerland #alps #skiing #hiking
