Zermatt is famous for its breathtaking view of the Matterhorn, one of the most recognizable and iconic mountains in the world. The city offers a wide range of outdoor activities throughout the year. In the winter, you can enjoy world-class skiing and snowboarding on the slopes of the Matterhorn. In the summer, there are opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and paragliding. Take a ride on the Gornergrat Railway, which offers stunning panoramic views of the Matterhorn and surrounding peaks. The observatory at the top provides an incredible vantage point for capturing the beauty of the Alps. Zermatt is a car-free town, which contributes to its peaceful and pollution-free environment. You'll get around on electric taxis and horse-drawn carriages, creating a charming and tranquil atmosphere. If you decide to get there by car, you can leave the car in Täsch and take the 15min train to Zermatt.
