The 48 best things to do with kids in Zermatt

This is the pinnacle of Matterhorn visit for any tourist. The highest cable car station with temperatures hoovering around sub zeros. Here you have three basic options one to visit the panoramic 360 view tower through a lift, second you can walk on the glacier upto the hiking trail to Breithorn and third you can the glacier cave by foot with mesmerising snow sculptures, crevices of glaciers to view live, and a walk through the sub zero temperature. You can easily spend atleast half a day but last of the cable car being at 6 p.m.

I definitely recommend, there activities for the whole day! First go to the top, enjoy the view and snow, you can climb the mountain if you want, enjoy Ice Palace, then. Go slowly down, there is lots of trails , lakes, there is amazing restaurants with the breathtaking view. I started 8.30 and came back to hotel 6pm... It worth every penny!

Overall, this is a great ride up close to the mountain. There’s a bunch of activities to do once you reach Klein Matterhorn. The cable car ride itself is worth the price because of how high it takes you and the views you get. However, if I compare this to Jungfraujoch I felt like our experience was much better in Jungfrau. If you’re in Zermatt though, this is what I’d recommend going for vs Gornergrat.

Wow...we were not sure when we arrived on Sunday evening as it was raining and we could not see anything. We decided to do the glacier paradise which was the best decision. Going up, we ran into heavy clouds and snow, we could barely see 4 m in front of us. The cable car was awesome. There is an ice castle with ice art, amazing stuff. Take extremely warm clothing, it gets below 5 degrees there. There is a good coffee and food shop, with other stuff like gifts, etc. There was snow so we got to play in the snow. The view point was closed unfortunately due to the heavy winds and the matterhorn was not visible. Overall, I'll do it again. And, ALWAYS GET A FULL OR HALF PASS DEPENDING ON HOW LONG YOU PLAN TO STAY. Half pass for short stays, full pass for longer stays.

Absolutely mind-blowing experience. I cannot recommend this enough, especially if you choose a day with perfect weather. The views are stunning from top to bottom. The Glacier paradise doesn't disappoint, the statues are amazing!

When planning visit in Zermatt visit to Glacier Paradise was something I was looking forward to. Went up with my family and it was absolutely stunning. Amazing ride and views. We were lucky to have a sunny and warm weather. Definitely recommend to visit! It wasn’t possible to buy tickets online in advance using Swiss family card but it turned out not to be necessary as there was almost no queue. Buying the same day has the advantage of knowing the weather. For us during warm day in summer it was enough to have two warm long-sleeve layers, long pants and something windproof on top. If you plan on going on a longer trip on top I’d suggest something warmer. Temperature increases significantly for each station down.

Visiting Matterhorn Glacier Paradise was one of the most unforgettable highlights of my time in Switzerland, as well as in Zermatt. The journey up, via a series of gondolas, builds anticipation with every stop, and once you reach the top, the panoramic views are absolutely breathtaking. Standing at over 12,700 feet, with snow-covered peaks stretching across Switzerland, France, and Italy, it truly feels like you’re on top of the world. One of the most unique features is the Ice Palace, an ethereal experience where you walk inside a glacier. The cool, quiet tunnels carved into the ice are unlike anything I’ve seen before, with sculptures and shimmering walls that make the whole experience feel dreamlike. The combination of the Ice Palace, the observation deck, and the surreal stillness at that altitude created a moment of awe I wasn’t expecting. It’s more than just a viewpoint; it’s a space that invites you to pause, breathe deeply, and feel small in the best possible way. Despite the high elevation, the facilities were incredibly well maintained, and everything felt thoughtfully designed for visitors. For anyone visiting Zermatt, this isn’t just a scenic stop, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that stays with you long after you descend.

Matterhorn Museum After exploring the Matterhorn Views itself, with your Swiss Travel Pass you can visit this museum. It has a wide range of history about the city of Zermatt and how it became a touristic city in this age. There’s also a free locker that you can put your bags in before you explore inside the museum. A lot of artifacts from the present and the past. I also like how the animals are involved in building the whole city knowing their contribution.

Excellent tribute to the mountaineers of the past who pioneered alpine climbing in this area long ago. A balanced version of telling the controversial events of the first ascent of the Matterhorn. The audio tour is a must, you will get so much more out of your visit. The museum is only open briefly each day (14:00-18:00) so plan accordingly.

It was much more interesting and informational than I expected it to be. You can see real size houses and models, a small movie theater in the middle of it all. If you have the time, it is definitely something interesting to see.

This is one of the most unique museums we've ever visited, and we absolutely loved it. It offers a fascinating insight into the history of Zermatt, the daring hiking expeditions to the Matterhorn, and the equipment used by climbers over the years. One of the highlights is a dedicated room showcasing an engaging documentary, which adds depth to the experience. It's a must-visit for museum enthusiasts, and a perfect way to spend time, especially on a rainy day!

Nice place to learn about the local history, especially the historic competitive climbs to conquer the Matterhorn peaks and how local tourism developments accompanied. There's an upper exhibit floor and a lower floor with about 5 rooms and a small theater screening a short film. Here you can experience how the locals lived in the past. Overall informative site to spend about 1-2 hours, great for children and adults alike.

I really enjoyed the Matterhorn museum! It's great if you are looking for a quick activity in Zermatt (especially on a rainy day). I enjoyed learning about the early exhibitions and appreciated the detail of the displays!

Loved reading the rich collection of mountaineering histories and seeing how a poverty stuck Alpine town transformed into a world class tourist attraction. The museum also documented the first ascent of Matterhorn very well.

Nature is so beautiful, lots of marked trails for hikers and so clean. It is a stunning experience and such a lovely place, recommended for both hikers and those who are not. Train ride up there is around 40 minutes from Zermatt if you are planning to go all the way up, or a bit less if you are planning to hike a bit till the top station.

We went during Christmas season, beautiful place to spend a complete day here. The view of Matterhorn from level 2 of the gondola is spectacular. There are good restaurants for food and drinks as well.

Phenomenal - very beautiful mountain surrounded by very beautiful landscapes and a great small cozy town, Zermatt🤩. I was there in July 2023 and it was amazing. We had lunch at the restaurant in Schwarzee which was also with a very good view of Matterhorn and the surroundings. I can truly recommend going here, for sure!

This is an awesome mountain. Really steep on the cable car (what do you expect people who have put too steep) and nice and cool from the warm temperatures below (as you'd expect being 4000m above sea level).

Iconic Switzerland at its best. The views of the Matterhorn are simply world-class. Whether hiking, skiing, or just relaxing, it’s magical.

Beautiful mountain scenery and cute sheeps. On Matterhorn, the sheep season was already over in October. But we were lucky to find sheeps on the hills west of Zermatt :)

Probably the icon you could think about Switzerland! Spent 3 days in Zermatt, found it not too difficult to have a look towards the peak as the distance and altitude is not that far away. Rifflesee (Gornergrat area) gives the best view with a mirroring lake surface. The 5 lakes hike in Sunnegga is also spectacular. Both hikes are easy and almost all downhill if you hop off the cable cars from higher stations.

If the weather is good then the trip is worth it. The day we visited, the train broke down. Having been instucted to leave the carriage and wait on the opposite side, the rain came down quite heavily and all were soaked. Replacement train arrived and the journey continued. No visibilty at the summit due to cliud cover, then fine snow. Took the train down and sat in a bar, the sun came out and behind us was the Matterhorn in all its glory!

Incredible scenery. Like everything else in Switzerland the price is ridiculous but on balance it’s worth it. If you get a good weather day it’s almost unbeatable mountain scenery

Totally worth the trip! Go in the morning for the best light. (背光) You can also stop by Riffelsee to see the famous reflection of the Matterhorn.

Large platform allows for a decent view of mountains, even if it is crowded. There is an overpass over the rail road leading to the observatory, and also to a Golden Spot that features restored historic locomotive, providing a prominent photo opportunity with the Matterhorn. We were lucky to see the Matterhorn in its full glory for about an hour, after that a cloud partly covered the mountain for the rest of the day. There is a restaurant at the station and clean bathrooms. We decided to hike to Riffelsee lake, but since the Matterhorn had a cloud cover, did not go all the way down. The hike is considered an easy hike, however, I did not find it so. Uneven ground steeply down the hill with lots of large and small stones, as well as gravel, very slippery.

Amazing views. Great launching place for several hikes. Exceeded all expectations!

Worth the train ride. Sit on the right side of the train for photos of the Matternhorn, hut the whole ride is stunning.

This is a small cemetery between St. Mauritius Church and the river. It's called Mountaineers in honor to those who lost their lives conquering the famous peak. However, we also found other buried here, as well at the Church's backyard

Very interesting cemetery with buried fallen hikers of the mighty Matterhorn. Just walking through and reading the epitaphs and dates of birth and death is fascinating. Across the street is a dedication on a wall with sculptures that you have to see to believe!

A really moving place that leaves you wondering if these climbers had their time again knowing their original lives’ outcome would they chose to live their second lives in a more risk-averse type way perhaps…?

A very sobering and even sad place to remember those who Chose to Climb the Matterhorn and lost their young lives. Many were in their teens and early twenties when they met their end, before their lives had truly begun. The graves of the original group that was led by Edward Whymper are here as well. They summited successfully in 1865 but met disaster on the way down. The cemetery is located behind St. Mauritius Catholic Church and is open 24/7. It is well maintained and a very interesting place to visit.

A very clean Graveyard with heartwarming Grave Decoration. It is a very nice Memory of all the People who died on the Mountain. R.I.P ❤️ Gone, but not forgotten.

A local cemetery, with a corner dedicated to mountaineers who lost their lives climbing the Matterhorn, the mountain which overlooks the town of Zermatt. Take a quiet walk here to commemorate their lives. Well-maintained and much-visited by the community.

Pioneers of alpinism are laid to rest here. Among these some members of the first successful climb to the summit of the Matterhorn, four out of seven died during the decent.

Hinterdorfstrasse is a small, maybe 200-300 met long side street between the main Bahnhofstrasse and river. It's one of the oldest streets with old wooden houses leveled up on stone stilts, probably to avoid uninvited animals or floods. Some houses are converted into guestrooms and bars, some we saw abandoned. It's was pleasant and interesting stroll after the train to Matterhorn

The must-see historic corner in Zermatt. Shows how the weight of the small wooden houses is carried by 4+ flat stone plates, which in turn stand on a wooden structure that elevates the house above ground level. No tickets are needed here.

An interesting street full of distinctive old wooden buildings in Zermatt built in traditional style. Some are occupied, some are available as rental apartments. Surprisingly, none were open to look inside. I think one of these should be converted back to how it was back in the day as it would make a nice little museum & visitor attraction.

Beautiful! I loved this street. A small street with chalets dates back to 1600. Some houses are renovated and are in use as holiday homes, but the outer view of the house is still in its original state.

Small street with houses dating back to 1600. Some have been renovated and are used as rental flats.

When in Zermatt, be sure not to miss out on this little street. Even though it's just one left turn away from the "Bahnhofstrasse" and right smack in the middle of the village, you might easily miss it, since the first few meters do not look like you might picture it. But then after a few steps the old wooden buildings will pop up. They are dated back to the 16th Century....making them around 500 years old. Mostly they are made from larch wood, containing lots of resin, which makes them very strong and also keeps away parasites. Many of the buildings are still inhabited and used. So be respectful to the buildings and its owners and keep the noise level low. Between some buildings you even can catch a great view of the Matterhorn (on your right when walking down). Of course there are always visitors present, but if you're just a bit patient and wait a few minutes you can get some pics without anybody on it. Most visitors rush through this place. But if possible, take your time to fully appreciate this part of Zermatt.

A quiet street featuring old houses of Zermatt, where you can walk past and admire the wooden buildings. Mostly is just looking at the exterior, but it's good enough. No entry fee but just a historical street.

Effortless walk. But many big groups of tourists. So it's very crowded. There’s some construction going on, but it didn’t affect the overall experience too much.

This lake gave the best view I would say. Took an easy 15-30mins hike from Blauherd station. Could continue the 5 lakes hike or go back, but this lake simply the one you must visit.

If the weather was clear, then I don't have any lingering attachment about here. But ... at that moment, it was cloudy and sometimes rainy. I couldn't realize that temperature, so I took a jacket just in case. However during the tracking, I was feeling hot.. so it was just stuff for carrying.

📍 Stellisee @ Zermatt 🇨🇭 First Lake on the 5-Seenweg Hike – Scenic Reflections & Picnic Spot Stellisee is the first lake you’ll reach when starting the 5-Seenweg (5 Lakes Walk) from Blauherd, and it’s easily one of the most photographed spots in Zermatt. 🌄 Postcard-Perfect View Set against the towering backdrop of the Matterhorn, this alpine lake reflects the peak perfectly on calm mornings, offering an unforgettable visual. 🧺 Picnic-Perfect This lake is a popular picnic spot, and it’s best to bring snacks or lunch from town—there are no food facilities on the trail. A perfect place to rest before continuing to the next lakes. 👣 Expect Crowds Being the most iconic and closest to the trailhead, tourists often gather here, especially mid-morning. Arriving early helps you enjoy the serenity before the crowd builds. 🚡 Access Take the funicular to Sunnegga, transfer to the Blauherd cable car, then walk ~20 minutes to Stellisee on a well-marked alpine path. 📸 Tips for Hikers & Photographers • Finish the hike before 3 PM, as clouds tend to cover the Matterhorn by then. • Best Matterhorn reflections are around sunrise—a reason to consider an overnight stay with mountain views. • Start early to avoid the tourist peak and capture the beauty in soft morning light.

Stellisee was a nice quick stop for me on the Five Lakes hike. I unfortunately didn’t get the iconic reflection of the Matterhorn because I was rushing to catch the last tram down to Zermatt, but the lake itself was serene and charming. Looking at other photos, it seems that some of the rock features have changed, or perhaps the water level made a difference. I would have liked to spend more time there, but I did the hike from bottom to top instead of starting at Stellisee, and it seemed like most other people were making their way down rather than up.

Great hike and beautiful lake to enjoy views of the Matterhorn. I would recommend going early as possible even for sunrise to see the views because the colors and clouds are much better than midday.

This was one of my best hikes. The views are incredible.

Short funicular ride but quite expensive. Sometimes you get a good view of the Matterhorn but it’s never guaranteed. Nice restaurant at top for a rosti. Lovely walk down to zermatt

Visited on a cloudy day in May when it didn't seem worth it to spend the money to go up the Gornergrat. The view was still pretty cool and reasonably priced with the half fare card. Would have been even better if the Matterhorn wasn't being shy.

Short funicular ride that with 50% discount with Swiss pass. Pretty good view of the Matterhorn. There is a hiking trail that you can go down if you prefer to do 1 way funicular up. It takes about 2.5 hrs, thru jungle and rocky steps. Nice view though. You can see the lake at the bottom, if you are lucky, you can see the reflection of the Matterhorn mountain in the water.

Great place for hiking. If weather allows you can Matterhorn can be seen from everywhere. Recommend to do the 5-lake hike.

The first station of the cable car. The view here is already very good. Many hiking routes around, but if you’re going for the 5 lakes hike, you should ride up one more station to Blauherd and hike down to Sunnegga.

Great view of the Matterhorn for a slight cheaper mode of transport than the Gornergrat Railway. Frequent arrivals/ departure from either end. Would just be beneficial if it ran a little later. We thoroughly enjoyed the mode of transport and the view!

📍 Sunnegga @Zermatt 🇨🇭 Scenic Mountain Station & Gateway to 5 Lakes Hike Sunnegga is a sunny alpine terrace above Zermatt, easily reached via a steep underground funicular. It’s not just a viewpoint—it’s a starting point for breathtaking alpine hikes, including the iconic 5-Seenweg (5 Lakes Trail). 🚠 Our Route: Sunnegga → Blauherd → Zermatt Hike From Sunnegga, we took the cable car to Blauherd, enjoying the panoramic ascent. From Blauherd, we began our 5 Lakes hike, passing through: • Stellisee (famous for perfect Matterhorn reflections) • Grindjisee • Grünsee • Moosjisee • Leisee (near Sunnegga) Instead of returning via transport, we continued hiking all the way back down to Zermatt, taking in lush meadows, peaceful trails, and constant Matterhorn views. It was a fulfilling, nature-filled descent that gave us both exercise and quiet alpine beauty. 🧭 Travel Tips • Start early—clouds often cover the Matterhorn after 3 PM. • Weather changes fast—check the forecast each morning. • Bring picnic snacks and water—there are plenty of scenic stops along the trail. • Sturdy hiking shoes are a must. • Sunnegga to Blauherd cable car is convenient and offers a scenic shortcut up the mountain. ⛰️ Final Thoughts This route is one of the best ways to experience the 5-Seenweg without backtracking, and the hike down to Zermatt adds a peaceful, unhurried finish to the adventure. Highly recommended for those looking for a half- to full-day hike with alpine views, turquoise lakes, and glimpses of Valais Blacknose sheep or goats.

Had their signature rosti w bacon bits & egg, and beef burger. Both nice & coupled with Amazing Matterhorn view. But almost 44degree steep hike up & down towards the eatery, not easy for those who do not exercise regularly as high attitude too. Able to reserve via their email on website to get their outdoor bench seats with the best views.

Our experience at Chez Vrony was truly an 11 out of 10. The location is absolutely magical, with the most breathtaking views of the Matterhorn. We went to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. They were so kind and accommodating—letting our group of four sit at the very front of the patio (a spot that usually only seats two). At the end of lunch, they even surprised my mom with a birthday dessert, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made her day unforgettable. I am so grateful to them for creating such a wonderful memory. The food was excellent—the salads were fresh, flavorful, and filling, and the cocktails were delicious and refreshing after the hike down. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted just as good as the views looked! The hike itself was very manageable on the way down, but if you’re going with seniors, I’d recommend bringing hiking sticks, as the trek back up can be a bit tough. We had an 11:30 reservation, so the hike down was comfortable, but heading back up later in the day got hot—definitely bring sunscreen. Between the views, the food, and the warm, thoughtful service, Chez Vrony is absolutely worth the effort to get there. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Zermatt—it’s an experience you’ll never forget.

Absolutely a once in a lifetime experience for a flatlander from canada! The food was delicious, and the view unmatched. The best experience from our Switzerland trip by far. If you decide to splurge on any food or dining experience, while in the country or zermatt… highly recommend.

One of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had. Sitting there, eating cheese fondue while staring straight at the Matterhorn… it honestly felt surreal. The whole place has this cozy, charming vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. Every dish we ordered was genuinely delicious. Nothing felt overdone or fussy, just really good food made with care. Our waitress had the kindest smile the entire time, which somehow made the whole experience feel even more special. The hike up wasn’t bad at all. It actually made it feel like we earned our meal, which made everything taste even better. If you’re anywhere near Zermatt, this is a must.

This is a must do while in Zermatt!! I’m not sure I have enough adjectives to describe how wonderful our lunch was at Chez Vrony. The service was lovely, the food delicious and the setting absolutely magical with stunning views of the Matterhorn. It took us four hours to hike down from Gornergrat Station to Chez Vrony. It was an epic day and our most favourite of twelve days we’ve been in Switzerland.

We’ve explored many cities, but this has been the most magical experience by far. You really have to work for it—funicular ride, a downhill hike, delicious food and wine, then more hiking. Absolutely unforgettable! We even saw a handsome white horse, staring back at us for a long long time!

A very unique experience that requires a hike to get to this restaurant. Set atop a beautiful mountain range, you’ll dine overlooking stunning Swiss Alps views. The food was fresh and delicious.

Great spot to rest, quite crowded especially with kids, but for parents it will be a perfect place. In summer people swim in this mini lake, very refreshing experience.

Great park for kids and for BBQ. There is even a water game for kids. For the fire place there is wood for free. Everything is very clean.

In summer, your children will definitely enjoy the slides there.

Great trail route for autumn.

Nice park & good location to spend a relax afternoon with family.

It is a good place to start if you are new to skiing. However, it was extremely crowded. We went there on 21 Dec. Most of the time you will spend either trying to avoid people, or queuing to go down slopes, or queuing to use the magic carpet. There was also no restaurant/food facilities nearby so you it will be better if you bring your own snacks, or leave after a few hours. There was also not much area for sitting or resting. Overall, it is a decent place still.

The Wolli park for begginner skiers in Sunnegga was fun and it had easy as well as slightly hard "slopes." We really enjoyed it. However there was no nearby restaurant to grab a snack or to eat sadly. So if you are planning to stay for lunch, you must pack something. 🥪 The only way to reach a nearby restaurant is to ski down somewhere and grab a lift. Though, if you are not exactly that comfortable at skiing then you probably should not.

Nice hike upwards with nice views and greenery if you visit in summer .

A wonderful canyon to visit with children. It is quite short so the walk through takes about 10 minutes. However, on the way to Zermatt through the forest, there is a beautiful path with many small playgrounds and activities for kids.

Absolutely stunning natural scenery! The gorge is breathtaking with its turquoise water and rock formations. The only downside is that it’s quite short. Even if you take your time, you’ll be through in about 20–30 minutes. At the far end you can choose an alternative path back to Zermatt, which makes the trip more enjoyable

It took us about two hours to walk from town down to the gorge up and around and down the other side of the gorge. It was steep in a lot of spots. There are a lot of hills and steps and rocks to climb up. It was pretty. It cost 5.50 a person. There’s a building where you pay.

These gorges are reachable both from Zermatt (easy way) or by descending from Riffelalp or Findelbach stations of Gornergrat Express (downhill walk). We were impressed by mixed tumultuous Gornera stream water and lush vegetation hanging on the stonewall around. Very safe and reasonable large wooden and steel walkways.

Wow, amazing place, water coming down with 200km speed, the sound of this powerful water it just incredible.

Awesome view everyone should come. It’s a different vibe of Zermatt.

The iconic mirroring of Matterhorn. Very accessible from Rotenboden station, took around 10 mins to the lakeside. Lack some luck for the weather, but the sky cleared up a bit after 1 hour of waiting, so hope for the best and be prepared to wait a bit. Found a marmot on the right side of the lake as well!

Lake Riffelsee is famous for its inverted Matterhorn. It's about a 30-minute trek from Gornergrad, and it's a pleasant trekking course with a direct view of the Matterhorn. If you're lucky, you might even see some cute marmots.

Start your trip early — around 7 AM to catch the calm morning light. Go down to Riffelsee first, then head up to Gornergrat later in the morning. The view is absolutely stunning! You’ll see Matterhorn in multiple shades as the sunlight changes.

Hands down best part of our trip to Zermatt, possibly even throughout the rest of our travels in Switzerland. We went early, missing our 7am Gornergrat train due to a delay in Tasch, but with an 8am departure from Zermatt it was still peaceful/ quiet and had no issues with crowds blocking views/photos.

I hiked down from Gornergrat to Riffelsee - the descent is a little steep in places, but nothing that a good pair of hiking shoes can't handle, even for inexperienced hikers. The earlier in the day you get here, the better in regards to crowds, clouds and weather. The lake itself isn't anything special, but in ideal conditions, the lake will give you a wonderful reflection of the mountain in its waters.

Riffelsee (from Rotenboden, one station before Gornergrat) This time, we were lucky to see a perfect reflection of the Matterhorn in the lake—absolutely magical. We took a short but incredibly beautiful walk from Rotenboden station (one stop before Gornergrat) to Riffelsee, and continued toward Riffelberg station. At a certain point, we decided to turn back, simply because we wanted to experience Riffelsee once more. At the entrance to the lake, there’s a lovely alpine botanical section with high-altitude flowers—small but charming. Throughout the walk, we were constantly surrounded by stunning and diverse vistas: the ever-present Matterhorn, nearby glaciers, and distant mountain slopes with a slightly arid appearance. What a view!

Woke up early, hiked to catch the perfect reflection… Managed to capture one shot before an inconsiderate dude decided to fly his drone (noisy too) right above the water 😤💦 Ripples everywhere. Funny how it takes hours for nature to find stillness — and just seconds for a drone or dude to mess it up 😓

Close by to Sunnegga and the end of the 5 lakes hike if you went the top way down. The lake is good to take a good mountain reflection picture. A nice place to sit, relax and just keep looking at the majestic mountains. I gave these one 4 stars because it’s more touristy than all the other lakes, with a rope pulley along the lake for kids. Not my scene but obviously enjoyable for other people. There is a free funicular lift to get up to Sunnegga if you want to save your feet after a long hike. Don’t stop at Sunnegga and get the lift down, do the hike back to Zermatt!

the lake itself as well as the views from there are both beautiful. Its very close to gondola and can be reached easily and might be crowded but during low tourist season you can relax there.

I took the Nature Trails where hiked from Sunnegga to Riffelalp. The view of this Leisee is out of mind. There is a playground for kids nearby.

Nice small lake, easy path from the gondola, many child friendly activities.

We started hiking from Winkenmatten in Zermatt taking the Wichjeweg trail upto Sunnega. On the right side walked upto the Leisee lake Very serene and quite place as cable car and all activities were closed

 01-09-2019 Memo of a trip to take a photo at Zermatt. Please leave first that you are not a good photographer, but with high effort. The camera that is used is a normal iPhone camera. Since traveling to Argentina I really like treking. I have been to Switzerland many times already. But this is the first time to try treking here. Today, the travel distance is around 10.8 kilometers. ระยะ  From accommodation in the city Since the sky is not bright It takes approximately As for the , the walking height is approximately 396 meters different, which is equal to the 132-story building. On the way, it's beautiful. The time spent walking today is about 5 hours. This time, I stopped at Leisee Lake as the first place. After that, I walk to see the nearby lake. It takes about 2 hours. The highlight today is the proposal of my juniors.  Hopefully almost died. The person who was asked to marry also said yes.  On the way back, the juniors who went with wanted to get off by tram, so we got off by tram, so I couldn't walk down. Inspired by walking to photograph the light this morning. I would like to thank Paul Harn, who inspired me to like taking photos like this. 

The lake is just beside the cable car station. Kids really enjoyed the playground here. Nice place for a picnic too.

Remembering the place where my friend almost lost his life

Love..love..love...nice view..

The small station bettwen Gornegrat and Zermatt. It's beatufull a view for the famous Mattenhorn.im my opinion a mountain lake is very wonderfull in a blue colir.

Nice view and little lake for great photoshoot

Good stop off spot in the ski season!

Beautiful views and snowy hike!

Rotenboden ski field is great

If you get on the first train It’s not crowded. The train was shut down for a few hours after ours. Those of us on the first train were lucky to had the whole place to ourselves. Gorgeous weather for hiking!

Our most expensive purchase in Switzerland! Question: was it worth it? YES! The views are breathtaking. We leaned out of the windows on both sides and admired these beauties the whole way! But be careful, it can be dangerous - sometimes the train passes dangerously close to pillars and tunnel walls. Despite all the beauty, still the price is unreasonably high..

TLDR: IMO, the Matterhorn express (gondola) is better. The Gornergrat railway and associated viewing points, etc. are a decent attraction but felt a bit meh after we tried the Matterhorn express (Gondola). The only reason to consider this seriously is if you want a picture against the mountain peak or if you’re hiking along some trails. If you’re short on time and want to experience snow, the mountain peak up close, this is not the best option. Nothing against the service or the attraction itself they’re doing a good job.

Great adventure and incredible views to Gorner and Matterhorn. The train is well maintained and have spectacular views. I recommend going early in the morning and buying ticket in advance - you can catch the train to the summit and then hike the way down (we’ve done a longer hike of 4h- it was moderate hard but so worth it)

Scenic train ride to Matterhorn top. Beautiful scenery , restaurant, rest stop, toilets. Be prepared to sweat if u coming down mountain by hiking but worth the effort

Definitely a must do. We opted for priority seating and we felt it worth it as our mobility is not the quickest and this allowed us to board without the scrambling for coveted seats. The weather was in our favor and we had spectacular views . Once at the top, plenty to see. We stopped on the way back and enjoyed a bite to eat and drink at one of the stops. Really a stunning excursion.

Knowing how popular this train ride would be, I pre-booked an Express Entry ticket which guaranteed me a three-minute head start to board the train and choose my preferred seat. The Gornergrat Train was a wonderful experience. It took you through forests and up mountain slopes, offering breathtaking views of the Matterhorn and surrounding peaks on a clear day. After visiting the summit, I rode the train back down one station and got off at Rotenboden where I enjoyed an unforgettable hike to Riffelalp. As the weather changed, I decided to take the train from there back to Zermatt. A must-do in Zermatt. Highly recommended.

Wonderfull place in which ice is transformed into art. Truly a unique experience. I was irritated by the fact that while staff told me that ski pass gives you access to to the glacier palace, my ticket was not working. Even after asking for support, they told me that it had to work, but eventually I bought another ticket to enter the area. kind of unorganized! Furthermore, temperature is very low, so be prepared with warm clothes.

I thought it was just a gondola ride but it had a walk through a glacier tunnel with ice carvings. The ice slide was a hit with the kids. Weather was perfect when we went.

Great experience inside the glacier, in an ice tunnel. There are also ice sculptures and an ice slide

Not cheap but well worthwhile just for cable car rides alone, views are stunning, Glacier tunnels brilliant, and of course you can ski if you have the equipment. Lift up to observation platform gets very busy...oh and dress for the occasion, at nearly 4000 metres it will be cold and there will be snow, Socks and sliders may be the in thing, but seriously....🙄

A good visit. But can avoid if you have already visited titlis and jungfrau palaces.

The Glacier Paradise is nice but not that impressive. Don’t forget to redeem a free souvenir spoon here! I came during the off-season, and there were almost no crowds.

Such beautiful ice sculptures! It a small place with lovely ice sculptures. I must say the little slide in the ice wall was fun and thrilling. It’s very small but when you look it’s pitch black not knowing what to expect. It was super fun!

This is the final stop of the incredible mountain railway that takes you to the Gornergrat summit. The train ride was smooth, and the scenery along the way was truly stunning.

Had great weather, really enjoyed it. We took our time and absorbed. We had lunch with the matterhorn behind us. That's not a picnic you have often! The train itself was impressive too. Can't find a fault!

Extremely scenic, you can see glaciers and Matterhorn if it’s not cloudy. There is also a hotel you can stay if you want to avoid crowds.

The top station of the amazing mountain railway leading to the summit of Gornergrat. The train journey itself was very smooth, and the views were simply breathtaking. At the top, the gates didn't open for some of our tickets. Once up there, there's plenty of space, and you can admire the surrounding area from many different viewpoints.

This station is the last stop on the Gronergart railway. You can go to the observatory near the station.

Great views while waiting for the train back to Zermatt.

We had a blast of a time! When we arrived at 4.3 pmish it was quite busy on the kids trail, but still our son had the chance to do the trails a lot, as many people left earlier than us. My daughter and I have done the green trail - what a long course with a lot of different obstacles along the way! The staff was most friendly and totally helpful - thanks also for the personal compliment - I’m flabbergasted 😇

The people working here are very nice. The equipment is well maintained. It's super fun when you are zipping the Zipline and having a great view of Matterhorn.

It was a very cool Adventure with exiting Zip Lines! The Staff was very friendly and explained it all very well. The Prices for Food and Drinks were also ok, you always have to keep in mind, that Zermatt is not one of the most affordable Holiday Locations! The Routes were very creative and the Zip Lines had a very beautiful View. You should definitely go there if u want the beauty of Nature in Zermatt from above.

My boys absolutely love this place!!! Must go if you are visiting Zermatt with kids or teenagers! My family first visited in 2019 when my boys were 5 and 7 years old, and we lived in Zurich. We only spend one day at the park and they fell in love. After we moved away from Switzerland, Forest Fun Park is wha they missed the most! After 6 years, we revisited the Park from the U.S. This time. We spend three days at the park! My boys could not get enough of the expanded courses with long zip lines and challenging obstacles. They had so much fun that they convinced both mom and dad to join them. It’s one of the most memorable activities we did as a full family in Zermatt. More than fun itself, it also help them built confidence and overcome fear of heights. The secret to this park is their innovative harness system that allows the kids to operate all obstacles & course independently. Unlike other zip line courses with an expert secures your harness and follows you through every obstacle course, this innovative system allows continuous self operation at your own speed with the confidence of safety, even for a 5 year old! The staff working there are amazing. They are experienced adventurers and world travelers that are super friendly. Thank you all for giving my boys the experience of their lives. I can confidently say: we will be back!!

As a group ranging from ages 27-75, we weren’t certain that this was the right place to spend an afternoon in Zermatt, however we all had so much fun! Afraid it wouldn’t be challenging enough we worked our way up to the black course. Mainly obstacles, it provided a great workout and balance practice. The zip lines on the brown course were our favorite!

My husband and I had the BEST time here! Forest fun park is indeed very fun! The employees were so kind and helpful and gave suggestions on which courses to start with. It’s really easy to use the harness system and once you’re in the course you don’t have to undo the harness. The blue and brown ones were my favorites since they had the most zip lines :)

The staff here are incredibly nice and friendly! The instructions are clear, and there's ample time for practice to ensure everyone understands how to use the zip line. However, I feel that the green trail is too long and shouldn't be labeled as easy, as it involves significant balancing and lifting, which requires a lot of energy. I believe the difficulty level for the green trail should be increased. Personally, I found the blue and brown tracks easier!

I’m not sure why Gornergrat gets all the attention when the trip to Klein Matterhorn is both slightly cheaper and offers a much more unique experience. If I could have only done one it would definitely have been this one. At 3,883 m, this is the highest you can get in Europe by cable car - higher than even Jungfraujoch. The journey itself has some nice views as you go up and down from station to station. As you near the top, passing over an astonishing glacier, the air gets thin and I noticed myself getting tired just walking up a slope! But it is so worth it. Walk down a few steps and you can step out on to the Breithornplateau, 3.8 km high, and walk on snow and ice, even in the middle of August. And of course enjoy the view of the Matterhorn, but also nearby Breithorn, which you can climb if you’re feeling fit. On a clear day like when I visited, you can even see Mount Blanc 70 km away on the horizon. You can even walk across the snowy plateau to Italy if you like. There is a real sense of the icy expanse. As a bonus the ice caves within the glacier are a really neat experience. The ice sculptures are cool (literally) and you really get a sense of wonder at the sheer amount of ice all around you, slowly sliding down the mountain. Definitely worth it.

Great experience at the top of the Klein Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland. Three cable cars to reach the top. Apart from the amazing views, there is also the opportunity to walk through a crevice in the glacier. Climbing to 12700 feet was definitely a wonderful experience.

Undoubtedly the highest peak station in Switzerland at 3900m. Once you are here you can see the giant Matterhorn via panorama view point. Matterhorn stands tall and looks terrific. The journey to reach top is little longer. But the view from top is incredible. In winter, it looks even more mesmerising. Now, gondola and cable car ride to this station is not fully covered by Swiss pass but you can buy the same at 50% discount at the entry point.

The Klein Matterhorn is crazy high. We went to the ice cave then restaurant afterwards. The ice cave is inside a glacier, this experience is highly recommend, the journey alone via gondolas has amazing views of the entire region and the best views of the Matterhorn.

Awesome view! Go to the observation deck and enjoy a impressive view. Or simply take your ski and ski downhill.

What a wonderful trip, riding up through the clouds that socked in Zermatt up to the crisply cold, brilliantly white top of the Klein Matterhorn at 12,700 feet and 9°F. The gondola is huge and holds quite a few people and yet there is room to observe the view going up. A cloudy day in Zermatt does not necessarily mean that the mountain will have clouds since the gondola climbs through them. Don't worry, there is a lovely ski chalet at the top (with pay restrooms) which serves warm drinks, snacks, and etc., and has a wonderful view if you wish to stay in. Otherwise, you can visit the Ice Sculpture area, shop, get tricked out with rented equipment to ski, if you wish, or take and elevator and some outside stairs to the Observation Deck to get a 360° view. A marvelous way to get up close and personal the Matterhorn. Bring sunglasses and sun screen if you plan to be out. The sun is quite intense. Dress warmly.

To get the see view you must to make sure your coming in a clear day otherwise is a wast of money, i was there in middle August and the weather was nice when we been down, but when we arrived up to the high everything was cloudy and we couldn't see much.

I had the absolute pleasure of skiing with Peter for three days in Saas-Fee, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! His deep knowledge, patience, and incredible teaching style helped me progress so much—taking me confidently from blue slopes to reds in just 1 day! Peter knows exactly how to explain techniques in a way that makes them click, and his encouragement kept me motivated the whole time. I’m beyond happy with my progress and already looking forward to skiing with him again next year! If you’re looking for the best ski instructor, book Peter—you won’t regret it!

Hello! I have just finished our course whit Kristina. We would like to thank her for your support and professionalism. For me and my son Filippo were the first time and we are sure that next year will come again on the ski! Kristina was encouraging and present every time with us. Unfortunately there was only one blue slopes 😩 but my husband was able to do one red slope, whit the Kristina support. Many thanks and let me know if I can do my feedback in another way or it is ok by email. Many thanks. Fabiola

We had a really good experience skiing with Radush. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone in our group felt comfortable throughout the day. The route was well planned, with a nice mix of terrain that matched our ability level and gave us a few fun challenges along. It was clear she knew the area well and had a good sense for reading the group’s pace and adjusting when needed. Highly recommended guide.

Ski lesson with Bara - Zermatt ski school Family Skiing ... Had an amazing three days Barbara! She was a wonderful ski guide around the slopes. As a beginning/intermediate skier we appreciate all the tips and lessons thrown into just a fun day of skiing. Definitely pushed my limits which allowed me to ski on hills I never would have tried on my own. Beyond that great conversations and and just an amazing person overall. Leaving the experience feeling like a better skier and knowing what to work on when I return home. Would highly recommend!!! Update: January 2025 Was fortunate enough to be able to.use Barbara for our return trip to Zermatt. What an incredible experience. While we were comfortable skiing mostly blue runs last year, we were now skiing mostly reds! Our goal was to be able to ski into Italy and we did!!! As challenging as it was she taught us so well that I felt confident in hills I never would have thought to ski. Plenty of fun, laughs and pushing our limits through the entire week and could not have asked for a better ski guide or person. Thank you again for all the wonderful memories!

An excellent and professional ski instructor. “Had a fantastic day with our Skies teacher Radush ! From the very first approach, she was incredibly welcoming and made us feel at ease. She guided us through every step with patience and support, ensuring we felt confident from start to finish. Her professionalism and friendly attitude made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!”

Sara was amazing!!!! So kind, helpful and knowledgable. I honestly can’t believe that within 3 morning sessions my 11 and 8 year old were on the slopes. We’ve had an amazing time! Would highly recommended Family Ski for beginner families! Thank you so much!!!!

We booked five mornings of ski instruction with Family Skiing Zermatt as a way of getting more focussed tuition compared to group lessons but also to spend more time on the slopes together as a father and son. Both have been outstandingly successful. Kristyna was brilliant balancing tuition to a child, a parent, a tour guide around the pistes, and in making the holiday fun. Our son progressed much faster than previous skiing holidays and even achieved his first black run! We’ve had a couple of disappointing experiences putting our son into group lessons but we couldn’t have been more pleased to have booked Family Skiing. Communication was simple on WhatsApp during the week, we met Kristyna, Dominica, and Petr who were all wonderfully friendly, and the week felt that it was about giving us the best possible experience. We’ve had a thrilling time improving our skiing and enjoying what will be precious memories as a family learning to ski together. We intend to book Kristyna again next year and my wife was so impressed listening to our days’ instruction experience, she intends to join in next time too.

I have planned many helicopter elopement wedding ceremonies, surprise proposals and champagne celebrations and heli-skiing with Air Zermatt. The pilots are always very friendly and helpful and professional. The views from the landing spots are epic.

I have no words. Just amazing and if in Zermatt, this should be at the top of your list. Spectacular views, crew was highly professional. A must do for everyone! When you enter, you have to use an elevator at street level and it brings you up to the takeoff/landing pad.

The best experience of my life so far! Everything was perfectly organized, and the crew was not only incredibly funny but also made me feel completely safe throughout the flight. I’d happily fly with them again and again. Thank you!

An incredible experience not to miss in Zermatt and head on down when the weather and sky is good. Only thing is they only take reservation via phone and not email. We were lucky and managed to walk in to check and get a flight slightly an hour later which was great as we stayed about 10 minutes walk away. once on the helicopter, be prepared to be wowed by the view. family enjoyed the full 20mins!

Air Zermatt rides are an experience of a lifetime, whether sharing a helicopter ride with others, booking them to transport passengers to the really high skiing places, one can rely on their professional pilots, good-humored and good-natured, they make the ride even for those who are a bit scared very pleasant. Trivia, the same team are the people who also help others in difficult situations up in the mountains. Riding with them or buying their merchandise is one way of supporting them. It's also the love of the flying craft combined with impeccable safety that makes them truly THE AIR ZERMATT. Highly recommendable for visitors to Zermatt!

The signs for the elevator upstairs are clear, the staff are very friendly, and the helicopter pilot gave detailed explanations about the mountains and glaciers. The entire flight was very smooth and reassuring, and after the experience, you can even take photos with the helicopter. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Zermatt to enjoy a helicopter ride and admire the Matterhorn.

Very professional outfit and also very friendly service. I got a lift up to the top with my mountain bike to have a spectacular descent down to the village of Zermatt

Until now i couldn’t stop thinking to get another snowboard lesson with Holly! She was super nice and fun! Really motivated to learn more on snowboarding. Def would come back next season! Thank you very recommended!

Awesome tours! I appreciated the time and energy put into making my tour through Zermatt a memory of a lifetime! I would highly recommend this guide group to anyone!

What an amazing experience in Zermatt & Cervinia skiing with Peter! I had scheduled 2 days but added on a third because of how much fun I was having. Peter was friendly, knowledgeable about the slopes and he gave me lots of great tips on how to improve my technique. I’m 67 and consider myself an intermediate level skier. I gained so much confidence skiing on the big Swiss & Italian slopes, thanks to Peter’s patience and guidance for improvement. We also had lunch at two fabulous restaurants: Chez Vrony and Chalet Etoile - I never would have found these if I was skiing on my own. If you’ve only skied in the states and it’s your first time to a huge ski resort like Zermatt, it cannot be emphasized enough / get a guide! Peter, at Stoked will not disappoint!

As a beginner, I learned a lot and tried slopes that I didn’t know I could do. It was a fun learning experience with breathtaking views. Thank you to Louise for not only being a patient coach but also a great companion. Here’s to more slopes 🏂

We had an amazing 3 days with Steffi! She is the best instructor I’ve ever been to. And so good with our kids too. Brilliant!! We will definitely be back.

We had an amazing experience with Stoked! My husband and I came to Zermatt for a week with our family and spent three entire days snowboarding with SerG (or “G” for short) from Stoked and honestly we wish we had done one more day. G was extremely knowledgeable about the mountain, patient, and most of all fun! My husband and I are at different snowboarding levels but that didn’t slow our guide down at all, he was able to give us both an amazing experience, challenging us each on our own when needed but also just letting us ride for fun. We can’t imagine traversing the Zermatt slopes without him, we would have been so lost! He took us to so many fun and beautiful spots, even stopping in Cervina for a coffee on one of the days. We had such a blast and couldn’t have imagined a better experience. Our family members also had amazing guides from Stoked for their skiing and snow shoeing adventures throughout the week, the instructors they had were named Francesco and Ed. Our family members raved about how fun, patient and knowledgeable Francesco and Ed were as well. We all got to hang out at lunches over the week and meeting these 3 great instructors was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend Stoked if you’re looking to snowboard, ski or snowshoe in Zermatt!

Stoke Ski School offers an unparalleled experience, blending top-notch instruction with a passion for the mountains, ensuring every skier reaches new heights with excitement and expertise. Markus is an absolute gem of a ski teacher! His exceptional skills and infectious enthusiasm have propelled me forward in my skiing journey like never before. As a beginner, I couldn't have asked for a more patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging instructor. Markus's ability to break down complex techniques into manageable steps is truly remarkable, and his positive attitude makes every lesson a joy. Thanks to him, I've not only improved but also developed a newfound confidence on the slopes. I can't recommend Markus highly enough – he's simply the best!🤩🤩🤩🤩

Delicious and authentic Swiss restaurant for fondue and other classic Swiss cuisine. Definitely recommend making a reservation way in advance. The host suggested booking 3 weeks in advance to people who tried to walk in. They do seem to accommodate large groups. The interior is very cute and homey.

We didn’t try the dinner at Whymper Stube, but we stopped by just for the chocolate fondue. Surprisingly, chocolate fondue isn’t as popular in Switzerland as cheese fondue, so it was a pleasant surprise to find a place that serves it. Located inside Hotel Monte Rosa, one of the oldest hotels in Zermatt, this cozy restaurant offers a charming setting. There are only three tables outside, but if you get one, you’ll enjoy a nice view and a good spot for people watching. The service was friendly and welcoming. The chocolate fondue itself was rich and satisfying, served with strawberries and bananas. We opted out of the marshmallows. If you’re in Zermatt and craving chocolate fondue, this is one of the very few places that offers it.

On top of the amazing food, the restaurant’s setting is simply breathtaking. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, with views that make you want to linger just a little longer, it created the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening.

This nice little Swiss restaurant was a delighttul find. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with charming decor that added to the cozy ambiance. The service was fast and friendly, making us feel welcome from the start. We enjoyed delicious soups that were rich in flavor and comforting, perfect for a Swiss dining experience. We also tried their sausages, which were expertly prepared and full of taste. The quality of the food was excellent, and the prices were reasonable for dining in Switzerland. Overall, a lovely spot for a great meal with a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

We came to this place to try Raclette and it was an incredible experience. The restaurant was fully booked for the evening but the very kind staff offered us to come during lunch when it is less busy. We enjoyed it so much that we also ordered dessert. We noticed that many people were ordering fondue as well, so it is probably something worth trying too. The staff spoke English very well even though some of them were definitely from Portugal.

Wonderful time in Whymper Stube. It was our first time having raclette, and we loved it. Their sausage "Whymper-Stube" was also delicious. We went mid-afternoon, after arriving in Zermatt. It's a popular place and started to get busy closer to the dinner hour.

Got in right before the lunch special was over. The fondue was good, though we wished we had more food for the price. The wine was good and the service was very efficient.

This was amazing, the meat was perfect!!! Everything was delicious!! They cook the meat and the dessert infront of you as well, like a little show! Great experience and service!

I loved this place. Their respectful but friendly service was amazing. Andre was in charge of my table and his service was spectacular and he actually cooked in front of me the tasty beef stroganoff which I was eager to have it! They explained and showed me what kind of ingredients that they are going to use beforehand, let me try the sauce of stroganoff if it is spicy for me or not. Owner was also friendly and regularly checked the meal was ok or if I enjoy it. Thanks a lot for your hospitality and tasty food, highly recommend it.

Delicious! Fantastic service, the owner was wonderful, and really outstanding food. I had the lamb with spatzle and the goat cheese salad with truffle honey (omg it was out of this world).

What a great resturant. Casual elegance! We shared the beef filets and rack of lamb. Delicious! Daniele was a very attentive waiter, with just the right number of checks as we enjoyed our meal. Bring a big appetite! We highly recommend Spycher!

Our experience here has been wonderful, we were served incredible local wine, a flambé venisson dear rack, and a delicious carpaccio. The chocolate fondue is delicious.

Amazing dinner for our last night in Zermat. Highly recommend. A little more upscale than most of the local restaurants but it’s worth the extra.

First time at Spycher last Monday. Great experience overall. We did appreciate the warm welcome from the owner upon our arrival. Then, dinner was such a show! Chateaubriand was outstanding and perfectly cooked. Certainly one of the best meat I've ever tasted and the homemade sauces complemented the dish perfectly. Last but not least, the crêpe suzette for dessert was just out of this world. Only disappointment: It was my first time there despite that I'm going to Zermatt every year since quite some time. I will come back every time now! Thanks again for this amazing experience!

Really nice place up in Findeln with a beautiful mountain view. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff are friendly, and everything feels welcoming. Great spot to take a break during a hike or just enjoy the view with something sweet. Big thanks to the staff for waiting a little past closing time for me. Really appreciated the kindness and warm service. Friendly people, great vibe. Would definitely come back next time I’m in Zermatt. Thank you Zohra !

This is a must if you’re skiing Zermatt! Make sure to make a reservation and hope to catch it on a nice day because the views and food combined are the most elite experience one could ask for. Everything we ate and drank was beyond delicious and all on a sunny day on the side of the mountain with views of the Matterhorn. Staff was friendly, menu had a lot of variety, and vibes are unbeatable. Would definitely recommend this over or instead of Chez Vrony if you’re having difficulty with reservations!!

Unfortunately we did not get a chance to eat here as we already had lunch but we did stop to have cocktails before the hike back down to Zermatt. We had the peppermint spritz and the rhubarb spritz and they were both delicious. The staff were extremely friendly.

The food was good and equally good vibe. The bathrooms were well maintained and clean.

The food and views are amazing here. However, the food is prepared ahead of time, which means there are very limited options for those with food allergies. The service was not great, though. Not enough staff for the number of tables, and they even had another group seated at the same table as us. The food came promptly, but we had to ask for the bill twice, and we waited 25 minutes for the bill to arrive. All together, probably worth the long walk to get here, but if you're not up for a long climb, the food closer to the lift stations is perfectly acceptable.

Okay what to say about this restaurant that hasn't been said before. Number one either have to walk or ski to get there. Amble down a narrow path to enter a otherworldly beautiful restaurant with a equally gorgeous vista of the matter horn. Definitely need reservations and sunscreen. We had a couple of delicious meals and a small bottle of wine. The service was nice and attentive but not intrusive and young.

Findlerhof, situated in the breathtaking Swiss Alps, is a hidden gem of Zermatt. Located in the Mattertal valley, this idyllic family-run guesthouse offers its guests a unique, authentic Alpine experience. The surrounding views are simply stunning and the hospitality is unbeatable. Lunch is a must-try at Findlerhof, with their renowned specialties such as their famous cheese fondue. On a clear day, the guests can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the Matterhorn while dining. With its unique charm, friendly atmosphere and exceptional food, Findlerhof has become a local legend - a rumor for one of the best places to have lunch!

My daughter & husband took a refresher class for 2 days with Louise. My husband was not happy bc he skied when he was younger & knows how (lived in Denver). Louise was phenomenal. Both of them raved about her. She was patient & an extremely gracious teacher focused on the technical aspect of teaching. My daughter really wanted to parallel ski & she met her goal. She even suggested where to eat & made reservations. My husband who like I said didn’t want lessons raved about her. It was a great decision

I had the best lesson ever with Sam this week! He was so patient, kind, and thoughtful in his instruction. I’ve taken many ski lessons before but I’ve never had a breakthrough with my turning like I had with Sam! He really helped me build confidence to go down steeper slopes. The beginner areas he took me to were so fun and easy to learn in!

We booked a ski guide to help us navigate beautiful zermatt. We were lucky enough to get Paul H. He was an absolute wealth of knowledge and guided us all over the mountain on our first day. We learned so much about the culture, mountains, lifts and even the local cuisine. I especially appreciated his patience and kindness with my mediocre skiing abilities. He made sure the group was taken care of and then personally skied a few rounds with me and pointed out ways to help me improve. I fell going down an easy hill and when I caught back up and told him He smiled because he had clearly seen it and said something like “You were just checking the snow right?” Right! He never made me feel inadequate or like a burden and I was so grateful. It was a great experience and I will never forget his teaching me to “pet the dog”! Thanks Paul for all you do! You really made a big difference in my experience in Zermatt!

I had an outstanding experience with Summit for a private snowboarding lesson. The guide that they provided was superb. He had pleasant personality, knew the mountain and was an expert rider. In one day he was able to show me most of the mountain and teach me some new skills. I highly recommend the school to anyone interested in learning how to ski or snowboard.

Awesome skiing experience! I went in January and it was my first time skiing ever and I not only picked a stunning location but a great ski school as well. Luca and all of the staff was so helpful and kind. They were able to find time on the same day for the afternoon when I inquired in the morning. Prices were reasonable and everything seemed very organized and efficient.

My wife and I would like to say thank you for giving us a wonderful skiing experience. We have a good three days of learning with our ski instructor, Christine. She has patience, and is very encouraging to us as beginner skiers. We got from not knowing how to ski to clearing the basic slope on day 3 thanks to Christine's guidance. Highly recommended!

We hired Summit to orient our group of 7 very experienced skiers on our first trip to Zermatt. What we got was one of the best days of skiing we’ve ever had (7100 M vertical!). We were very lucky to have had Chris, a 20+ year Zermatt instructor/guide. Our day was an amazing mix of tons of great terrain, history, geography, photography, and helpful ski tips for each of us. His detailed tips for tackling Cervinia (lifts, trails, and restaurants) was an added bonus. A big thank you to Summit and Chris for the greatest day! The scenery didn’t hurt either.

Even two years later, we still talk about our stay at The Omnia as one of the most spectacular hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the breathtaking views of the Matterhorn to the seamless service and warm hospitality, every detail was exceptional. The property is stunning, the atmosphere serene, and the staff made us feel genuinely valued as guests. Nina and Bianchi treated us like family, even giving us a tour of the property before personally escorting us to our room. We continue to recommend The Omnia to friends and family, and we can’t wait to return. It’s truly a place that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Hands down one of the best hotel experiences I have had, everything from start to finish was exceptional. Thank you for making my time in Zermatt so memorable. The hotel is stunning, with beautiful facilities matched with incredible views. I enjoyed my coffee every morning on the balcony soaking it all in. The staff were so kind and helpful which made my stay even more amazing. They helped me plan my hiking activities and even arranged a doctors appointment for me when I was unwell. I truly appreciate your hospitality, especially as a solo traveler. I look forward to coming back again one day!

easily one of the best hotel experiences i’ve ever had! as soon as you arrive in zermatt, you are greeted by the friendly driver who helps you with bags and takes you to the hotel. the staff then whisked us away to the terrace for a drink to take in the views before heading to the room. every single detail is thoughtfully planned, including chocolates and other delightful touches to the room during the stay. the pool and steam rooms are wonderful and the breakfast selection is extensive. we were here on our honeymoon and couldn’t have chosen a better place to help us celebrate.

I have stayed in many luxury hotels in the world including Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental. However, this hotel the Omnia was the BEST stay ever. Attention to detail in beautiful design (architecture, furnishings, even the soap dish which looks like TBM- Tunnel Boring Machine- and attentive service were totally exceptional. Now I am staying at Park Hyatt Zürich and it looks so ugly compared to the Omnia. They (Park Hyatt Zurich) don’t have any fundamental philosophy about creating a space. At the Omnia, I made a last minute appointment for the spa, and they made it happen. Phillip noticed I was near the lobby and he ran to tell me the appointment was actually created. Pool and spa area were gorgeous and relaxing. The library with the fireplace was a nice touch. Their collections of art books was better than New York public library. Thank you for letting me have the opportunity to stay there.

If I could give 10 stars I would. The most amazing hotel, staff, facility, food, care, design. Every detail is simply special. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. Will be back every year ❤️

It is wonderful to stay at a hotel where it feels like every staff member is invested in you having a pleasant time. Best stay ever. There was a great soaking tub in our room, and it was delightful.

Our stay at The Omnia was honestly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel completely at home, warm, attentive, and genuine in a way that’s rare to find. The location couldn’t be better, with stunning views and easy access to everything in Zermatt. The rooms were stylish and comfortable, and I have to mention the shower pressure, absolutely amazing, which was such a treat after a long day out. Breakfast was another highlight. Sandra, who looked after us most mornings, was fantastic. We’re vegetarian, and she went out of her way to make sure we had plenty of good options, always with a smile and great attention to detail. All in all, The Omnia combines everything you’d want in a stay, great service, comfort, and an unbeatable setting. We left with wonderful memories and would come back in a heartbeat.

Nice Church in Zermat. Recently built it looks like.

St. Mauritius is the main Parish Church in downtown Zermatt. It's around 100 years old. We found the Church exterior more appealing than interiors, specially with great Matterhorn views. At the Church backside is a small cemetery with buried mountaineers who died during Matterhorn conquest. Interiors are pretty modest with the Noah's Ark painting on the ceiling. We were lucky being there when a local school class had their lecture by the altar which was a very memorable experience

The first historical record of the parish church of St Mauritius dates from 1285. It can be assumed that back then it was a small and modest place of worship. Over the following centuries, the church was enlarged and renovated several times. The predecessor of the current parish church was probably built in 1587 in the so-called Italian style. Originally the parish church had three Gothic altars. Following the custom at the time, these were replaced by baroque altars in the 18th century. On the south side of the church were the cemetery and the charnel house from 1651. The new church from 1913 Initially the people of Zermatt did not want a new church at all. But a local vote on 13 November 1910 paved the way for an ambitious new scheme. The architect Adolf Gaudy from Rorschach drew up plans, and on 6 June 1916, Monsignor Joseph Mariétan, Bishop of Bethlehem and Abbot of St. Maurice, consecrated the new church. Ever since, the parish has celebrated the anniversary of the inauguration of the church on the first Sunday in May. The church was painted in 1920, and the clock installed in the tower in 1925. Inauguration of the big organ in 1926 and three new bells in 1932 marked the end of construction. Today’s church stands further east than its predecessors. Complete renovation in 1980 To celebrate the 700th anniversary of the parish in 1980, the parish priest, Eduard Imhof, undertook a complete renovation of the church. Changes to the interior included removing confessionals and double benches from the aisles, taking away the pulpit, adding a celebration altar, replacing the Stations of the Cross and converting the baptismal chapel into a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The ceilings of the choir and vaulted nave were also painted. The painting on the ceiling in the centre of the nave, “Noah’s ark”, is by the artist Paolo Parente from Florence and also dates from 1980. Valuable artefacts The church of St Mauritius is listed in the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of Regional Significance because of its altars and baptismal font.

Beautiful catholic church in Zermatt, been there for pray and love this place much.

📍 Pfarrkirche St. Mauritius @Zermatt 🇨🇭 ⛪ Parish Church in the Heart of Zermatt Located right in the center of Zermatt’s old town, the Pfarrkirche St. Mauritius (Parish Church of St. Mauritius) is a peaceful and spiritually rich stop during any walk through the village. With its striking green steeple and backdrop of alpine peaks, it’s a beautiful architectural landmark that feels both modest and majestic. Inside, the church is calm and inviting, with traditional stained glass, carved wood details, and a serene atmosphere ideal for reflection. During our visit, we also noted a unique Noah’s Ark sculpture near the entrance—adding a delightful and meaningful artistic touch.

Wonderful design big church

A wonderful church 🫶

Trockener Stegg. Breathtaking cable car journey. Amazing angle of Matternhorn.

The view is beautiful and being able to see the Matterhorn from here was a great experience!

There for hikers: you get the best view of the divine Matterhorn all along your semi challenging journey from Trockener Steg to Schwarsee. Absolutely stunning and good level of work out. Attention however that you will need proper hiking shoes to avoid slippery snow-covered path.

Awesome place to visit in winter. Loved it. Wonderful view in the cable car trip. you can see the beautiful Matterhorn view. Absolutely stunning. One of the best place for skiing. It will be crowded on weekends. You have to buy tickets in Zermatt. The office is near to

Part of the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise cable car network, this is the station where you'll need to change the cable car to get to the Glacier Paradise. Be sure to use the WC here as they're free, if you're heading up to the attraction. There was not much to see around the station when we visited in the summer as well, as the surrounding area was undergoing construction and there were mainly only rocks. There's a quite nice open rooftop area though where you can take pretty pictures.

when I go to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise I rarely to see the Matterhorn peak because bad weather but finally I can see the great peak from here. This stage very beautiful don't miss the rooftop their has a spectacular view of the Matterhorn peak.

A beautiful summer hiking location in the mountains. The glacier trek was absolutely stunning, we wandered around the glacier, then up to the Matterhorn base camp to enjoy the view of the mountain close up. Then we hiked down the mountain back into Zermatt. An absolutely stunning day!

I had only skied twice before coming to Zermatt, so I booked a private lesson to begin my week. Camila was my instructor and she made the lesson so memorable for me! I’m glad I extended my lesson from 2 hours to 3.5 hours. She taught me an exercise that made me less afraid to ski down steep slopes. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Best ski trip ever!

We had an absolutely fantastic time with Alpine Ski School in Zermatt. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. We had the necessary info and communication was open. The director, Maxime, was incredibly friendly and helpful. We reached out to inquire about other services in summer and he gladly organized a hiking tour for us. The views of the Matterhorn were breathtaking, and having a guide who knew the terrain so well made all the difference. Safety was always a priority particularly as it unexpectedly started raining, but we also had so much fun exploring the slopes. The mix of professionalism and warm hospitality really made this ski school stand out. I can't recommend Alpine Ski School highly enough. It's the perfect choice if you're in Zermatt—I'll definitely be back for skiing!

I had the most incredible experience at Alpine Ski School! In just three days, I went from a beginner to feeling comfortable and confident on the slopes. The instructors are not only highly qualified but also incredibly patient, fun, and adaptable to each person’s level. They made skiing feel natural and easy, turning it into a passion that will stay with me forever. Every day was an adventure, exploring new slopes with breathtaking views over the Matterhorn. The school not only taught me how to ski but also took me to some of the most stunning places I’ve ever seen. If you're looking for an unforgettable, fun, and professional introduction to skiing, Alpine Ski School is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable! Each lake was more stunning than the last, with crystal-clear reflections of the Matterhorn and peaceful alpine scenery all around. What made the experience even better was our guide, Max coz he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole hike so much fun. The hiking agency was top-notch as well: super well-organized, attentive to every detail, and you could tell they really care about giving you the best experience possible. Honestly, one of the best hikes I’ve ever done, and I can’t recommend Max and this agency highly enough!

Everything was so great we did hv a good memories, experience and skills. We flu 10 hrs for this snowboard trip. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I would recommend it to my friends. All instructors are so kind, funny and be patience with us and skill full ;) thank you Christo, Sisso, Emeline and Dominik our Snowboard and ski instructors. Best wishes :) Erica, Kob, Quinn, Nayton and Nayya from Thailand

I had a truly wonderful time last weekend on a hike organized by Alpine Ski School Zermatt, led by Maxime. The route offered some of the best views of the lakes and the Matterhorn — absolutely breathtaking! Our group was a mix of beginner and advanced hikers, and Maxime did an excellent job making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. His knowledge of the area, friendly attitude, and attention to safety made the experience enjoyable for all skill levels. One of the highlights of the day was spotting marmots along the trail — such a delightful surprise that added to the magic of the hike! The hike was well-paced, with plenty of opportunities to take in the scenery, snap photos, and learn about the local environment. I highly recommend Alpine Ski School Zermatt for anyone looking to explore the region — whether you're new to hiking or a seasoned adventurer. Thank you, Maxime, for an unforgettable day in the mountains!

Alpine Ski School provided all necessary information, the communication was very fast and easy. I want to express my gratitude to my snowboarding instructor, Dominik. He is incredibly attentive and professional, making each lesson extremely valuable for me. Dominik was particularly understanding of my fear of tackling curves, and thanks to his guidance, I quickly progressed from the children's slope to skiing confidently on blue and red slopes. I highly recommend him as a personal trainer.

Lucia is fantastic- our three days together turned me from a complete beginner to a skier! She is extremely caring, patient and loving- a real joy to be around. Her instruction is clear, precise and easy to understand. I progressed extremely quickly, and with her felt comfortable to push my boundaries and gain confidence. On top of that she’s a great photographer! I can’t recommend her highly enough, and look forward to learning more with her again!

I had the best time today in Zermatt. My friend and I did the beginner ski lesson and had the best instructor Augostina! She was patient, kind and made us feel so comfortable. It was my first time and I was so nervous but she assured me I will do fine. Agostina allowed me to finally experience this the best way possible and I couldn’t be more pleased. I would highly recommend evolution ski school to anyone wanting to learn to ski!!!

Vita is such a fantastic instructor. We had two two-day beginner classes with her; she is very professional, friendly, kind, and patient. Most importantly, she made us feel confident after practicing with her. I will definitely return to the school and the instructor next year! And thank you, Vita, for the wonderful experience.

Spent a week at Zermatt to learn ski and very luckily found Lucia at Evolution Ski (my husband has seen this school in multiple resorts with patient instructors and that’s why he found this school for me). Had either 2-ppl lessons or private lessons with Lucia during my stay and I highly recommend! Lucia’s lessons are very structured and well-organised to help beginners like myself to handle the skills with confidence. She is patient, cheerful and full of empathy. Her teaching makes my ski experience fun and enjoyable! Her knowledge and understanding of clients’ skills help decide which routes to go on and what skills to be “layered up”, which are super helpful for beginners. My humble advice to first-time skiers, look for an instructor is the make or break for falling in love with the sport!

We booked a 5 days, 2 hours long lesson for one adult and two children (7 and 5 year old). Our guide Mattias was absolutely incredible! He helped us with carrying the equipment and adjusting it properly. But most importantly, the kids loved him! He was very nice and friendly, and he made sure the kids had fun by encouraging them and having good vibes all the time. Everyone had learned how to ski,and the kids skied by themselves on a real slope. We will definitely go back to this school next time we're in Zermatt.

We had an amazing experience with Romana from Evolution Ski School! From the very beginning, she communicated clearly and made sure we felt comfortable and prepared for our lesson. She was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and created a welcoming atmosphere for our group of four. On the slopes, Romana was patient, attentive, and truly focused on each of our individual needs. She continuously assessed our skill levels throughout the day, ensuring that everyone progressed at their own pace and that no one was left behind. Her ability to balance encouragement with technical instruction made the lesson both enjoyable and effective. Thanks to Romana, we all gained confidence and improved our skiing skills significantly. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and engaging ski instructor in Zermatt, I highly recommend booking with her. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

It's our first time in Switzerland for our honeymoon, and we are super happy to have went for skiing, especially in front of the beautiful Matterhorn! Our ski instructor Virginia is very good, she is very patient, she answers all our queries very well, speaks very good English, and very clear in the step by step tutorial; she can even gauge each of our progress and lead us accordingly! Thank you Virginia and Evolution Ski School! All in all, had a wonderful first time ski experience and we will definitely be back for more winter sports! (:

We had an amazing experience being led from Zermatt to the hornlihutte. Guide was really easy to get along with and knowledgeable and showed up on time. We had a very nice time. Amazing hike. The only issue is that it wasn’t clear what the timing would be and when we should turn around. There was a bit of pressure to go faster when I was afraid to pass people because of the height because we had a time limit to get to the top. The guide started off very slow for me and then it got steep and I slowed to be careful. I was also clear I was a little worried about the heights before we started. They said they were worried we would miss the last gondola at five and we finished at 3:30 so not sure why it was such a rush? In any case it worked out but if you plan to use them be sure you clarify the expected timing of the activity and turnaround time before setting out.

My partner and I joined three other mature walkers on a guided hike to Breithorn. The weather was amazing - Zermatters staff helped to coordinate the walk based on the weather forecast. Our highly experienced guide, Ivan, was outstanding - communicating well with us clients, shepherding us onto cable cars, giving guidance on technical matters (crampons, rope, pole), being aware of - and reacting constructively to - how each of us was coping, setting an excellent pace, and enabling several photo opportunities. The summit rewarded us with outstanding views. What a wonderful day, thanks to Zermatters! After the hike, we spent some time at the cable station enjoying panoramic views and the glacier tunnel. A welcome bonus!

Gabriel was awesome! He was kind, attentive and very knowledgeable about skiing, snowboarding, mountain climbing, Zermatt and Switzerland in general! We learned a lot. We did private lessons for my 14 years old son, as a group with the youngest being 11, and also went to Italy with him for a day. He booked our taxis from the hotel, as well as restaurants. We all had a blast, kids, teenagers and adults alike! Thanks Gabriel for a fantastic 4 days!

Booked a 5 hour guided mountain bike tour all around Zermatt. 4 of us were participating ranging in age and skill from 13 to 50+. In the morning, we met up and finalized what bikes to get, and details of where we would go. Jindra started is simple and did a great job making sure everyone started safely. We rode flown trails, mountain roads and some narrow cliff top trails. We got some amazing food on the way (lunch, and later dessert, and plenty of cappuccinos!), swam in an alpine lake, and enjoyed some of the mountain villages. I would 10/10 recommend Jindra for being a total pro. He listened, took feedback, adapted plans, and did a nice job help us all stay safe and have fun.

I was vacationing in Zermatt this past February and wanted to ski with an instructor/guide for a couple of days, so I booked an Unlimited Ski Day and a Guided Freeride Day with Zermatters. Wow…sums it up. I skied with Andre for both days, and he was fantastic. We skied the entire area on-piste and off-piste and it was great not having to worry about where I was going since he was so familiar with the mountain. I explained what I was hoping to get out of the experience, and he far exceeded my expectations. In just those couple of days, it felt like I was skiing with an old friend. I also must thank the staff in the office. I stopped in the office when I arrived in Zermatt to ask what they thought my best options would be based on the current conditions, and what I was hoping to get out of the experience. They were extremely helpful and suggested exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely be booking another excursion with Zermatters on my next visit to Zermatt.

Excellent service in Zermatters. I took lessons with Chris for two days (6 hours total) and used his knowledge to ski on a red mountain. I highly recommend taking lessons with Chris; he's knowledgeable and patient.

An amazing and professional ski instructor. Thank you Stuart. You made our stay very special We loved every single day out there on the mountains and skiing.His patience, expertise and engaging teaching style made our family skiing adventure unforgettable.We all improved greatly and had so much fun on the slopes.Highly recommend him.Five stars all the way! Big thank you. The best ski instructor We hopefully to see you again next year. Definitely we recommend Zermatters Thank you

Great experience renting a mountain bike for a day! Recommended a great ride for me to do solo in the few hours I had free. Would use again!

Bikes are really good and they seem to have the best deal on the mountain. Owner/main lady was super nice, funny, and informative. She recommended us a trail to go on during the off season and to get gloves along with the bike which were essential. Bikes were worth every penny and they took us really far! Thanks so much!

Rented 2 mountain ebikes. They were in excellent condition. One brake started to squeal; we swung by the shop mid day and they quickly changed out the pads and we were off again. Super helpful and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Avoid this place at all costs; they will ruin your day. Renting bikes from this business was the single worst part of my trip to Zermatt. The mountain bikes they provide are in atrocious condition and are completely unfit for mountain trails. The bike I rented had an extremely worn rear tire with almost no tread left and a fatigued rear derailleur hanger. The overall condition was incredibly poor, with worn parts and poorly terminated cables that show a complete lack of professional maintenance. My day was ruined when I was forced to push the bike for an hour just to get to the gondola. It was a miserable, exhausting start to what should have been a fun day in the mountains. Upon returning the bike, they charged me an outrageous CHF 145 for the really worn rear derailleur—a part that was clearly already past its useful time. This business provides terrible customer service and shows a blatant disregard for safety and quality. They are clearly profiting from one-time transactions with tourists who don't know better. Do yourself a favor: read the other one-star reviews on Google. There is a very good reason they have so many. I wish I had read them before I rented here. Rent your bikes somewhere else to avoid a similarly terrible experience.

We had the best bike ride of our lives. The e-bikes were perfect we had the hardtails which is all we needed. Monica at the store took the time and explained several routes and we did them and had the most spectacular views and experience and are extremely happy. They gave us everything we needed for the bike a lock bike tools and repair kit. We went out to the Stefan alp restaurant on the North slope of the Matterhorn and thoroughly enjoyed that then continued on to a hut very close to the end of a glacier. We then came back a different route through zmutt and would recommend that just a little more technical than the route up but not beyond our abilities. Would highly recommend was perfect for what we wanted to do.

I had a serious problem with my bike, nice man in the workshop helped me instantly. Great kudos and big thank you !! By the way it’s the best workshop I have seen in my life, it’s more of a clinic than bike service.

Great bikes and service! Had a lot of fun with the recommended trails.

The lake of the Schwarzsee (2,552 m) lies right at the foot of the Matterhorn. The Schwarzsee (German for "Black Lake") is a small lake near Zermatt in the canton of Valais, Switzerland. It is located below the Matterhorn next to the mountain ridge (2,583 m (8,474 ft)) and to the cable car station of the same name at an elevation of 2,552 m (8,373 Its surface area is 0.5 ha. A chapel dedicated to Mary of the Snows – the chapel Maria zum Schnee – lies on the edge of the lake. It can be reached by cable car from Zermatt.

Great place to see Matterhorn from close perspektive. Go up to Hirli 2769m for even more of Matterhorn.

Nice lake but very small. Plus, it is super expensive to go there. However, the matterhorn is right behind and offers an amazing view point.

Beautiful little lake close to the lift station.

Amazing experience and views of the great Matterhorn and Swiss alps!

The place for lot of activities and one of the best views of the Matterhorn.

Great hikes and views! Well worth your time!

Here's a great and easy itinerary that takes only about 2 hours, offers wonderful views of the Matterhorn, and is much cheaper than other options from Zermatt, is to climb to Blauherd on the gondola, walk 20 min to Stellisee (from where the ubiquitous photo of Matterhorn reflection in the lake was taken, and it's better than Riffelsee), then return to Blauherd, rent a mountain cart and ride it down to Sunegga. From Sunegga descend to Zermatt by funicular. At Blauherd don't forget to take a photo at the wooden heart frame, although you may have to be patient when young egocentric women spend a long time taking dozens of selfies there. From Sunegga you may choose to take a short detour to Leisee, particularly fun for kids. The combi ticket for Zermatt-Blauherd + Sunegga-Zermatt is 43 CHF as of Sep 2024. The mountain cart rental from Blauherd to Sunegga is 15 CHF and great fun!

Did the 5 lakes trail which took about 4 hrs including some rest periods starting at Sunnega (Blauherd station was not open yet). Beautiful views everywhere.

Brilliant experience and lots of fun! We actually did it twice on two separate occasions and loved it both times. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area. (make sure you use the safety glasses provided as it can get dusty) Diolch yn fawr iawn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This is the second of three legs to get to the top of the Rothorn. From this stop, you can take several walks, even walking all the way around the valley to the Gornergrat Railway, which we did and it was awesome. Highly recommend this. We went in the peak of August and there was zero line or wait.

Easily going with the cable car or by foot and lots of hiking

Great views. You can do a walk to 5 lakes from there

Top!

(Translated by Google) Zermatt is visible and pretty. As of 22/6/11, there is no cable car to Blauherd. You have to walk for about an hour to see Stellisee (one way). There doesn't seem to be a restroom or a restaurant or anything in the middle, so I didn't go and went to the nearby liesee?? I spent some time at the lake. Still, it was good.

(Translated by Google) There's a man standing there, bored and looking cross, at the top station of the Sunnegga cable car. He's a cable car employee. But he doesn't want to be disturbed. And he certainly doesn't want to help. And anyway. A face of stone, charm utterly nonexistent. Customer service is a foreign concept. What is this man doing there? There should be someone on site who knows what it means to deal with guests and customers. This person, however, is a complete misfit. (Original) Das steht ein Mann gelangweilt und böse dreinschauend an der Bergstation der Sunnegga-Bahn. Er ist Mitarbeiter der Bahn. Er möchte aber nicht gestört werden. Und helfen schon gar nicht.

Da müsste jemand vor Ort sein der weiss, was es heisst, mit Gästen oder Kunden umzugehen. Dieser jedoch ist eine komplette Fehlbesetzung.

(Translated by Google) There is a restaurant with terrace seating where you can enjoy the view of the Matterhorn while eating (although I didn't use it). The view from here is also quite spectacular. (Original) 食事をしながらマッターホルンの眺望を楽しめるテラス席のあるレストランがあります（利用しませんでしたが）。ここからの眺めもなかなかのものです。

Juan showed me an absolutely amazing time on the slopes. I was able to really be myself in Zermatt around him, he was honestly the best thing about my trip. Speaking to him about the love for skiing and his excitement has influenced me. I’m no longer afraid to go and try on my own. I can’t wait until next year, I feel so confident because of this! I really can’t believe how fast he taught me. I was turning and skiing within the hour! I was able to send a video to my dad and family back home, as well as friends and colleagues. You will definitely have priority for ski lessons should anyone book. This has changed my entire world in winter sports and I will now be an annual skier. I really can’t say enough good things about this experience!

Lucas made our experience unforgettable. His knowledge of the mountain, his understanding of our needs, and his tips for improving my son’s skiing technique were on point. He was a fantastic guide and instructor. He also gave great advise about restaurants for lunch and dinner.

Would recommend Matterhorn Diamonds Ski School for anyone skiing Zermatt. I toured with Ana and she was outstanding! The resort is so vast that it can be overwhelming. Given the conditions the day we skied, Ana located the best possible runs while navigating areas on the Italian side of the resort then back to Switzerland. We had a full day of great skiing. When I return to Zermatt I will ski again with Matterhorn Diamonds! Thanks Ana!!

My experience with Isabella and the Matterhorn Diamonds Ski School team was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment I stepped onto the slopes, her expertise and passion for skiing were evident. Isabella's patient and personalized instruction elevated my skills to new heights, allowing me to tackle challenging terrain with confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Isabella and her team to anyone looking to improve their skiing abilities while having an unforgettable experience on the slopes. Thank you, Isabella, for an incredible journey on the mountain! ⛷️🏔️

We booked a private lesson for 2 with Matterhorn Diamonds 2 weeks ago and it was the best decision ever. We were fortunate to have Lukáš as our instructor, which completely changed the way I see and enjoy skiing. He was patient and always looking for our moves and posture, giving advices and building the confidence and proper mindset to approach any slope. We started with less steep blue slopes and gradually increased the difficulty ending up doing red slopes and having one of our best times on ski. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who feels the need to take a few classes and learn how to approach slopes, improve their posture and gain confidence. Thank you Lukáš and Matterhorn Diamonds for the best ski experience and for making me love this sport!

Our experience with Juan and Rowena was exceptional! Last year, my 10-year-old daughter had an amazing time skiing with Juan, thanks to the quick arrangement made by Rowena, even on short notice. This year, we returned to Zermatt, and once again, Juan and Rowena provided us with another fantastic ski experience. Juan's week-long sessions with my daughter were not only enjoyable but also incredibly effective in improving her skills significantly. He managed to strike the perfect balance between keeping the sessions fun and challenging, resulting in my daughter developing a deeper love for the sport. Rowena, on the other hand, was incredibly patient and supportive as I navigated my way through the slopes as a beginner. Despite the unpredictable weather conditions, she ensured that our skiing experience remained engaging and fulfilling. With their guidance, we were able to explore various terrains and witnessed significant improvements in our skiing abilities. I wholeheartedly recommend both Juan and Rowena to anyone seeking top-notch ski instruction. We are already looking forward to returning soon for more unforgettable skiing adventures!

Matterhorn Diamonds were great to work with from start to finish! Some friends and I rented skis, boots, helmets, jackets and pants through their team and they coordinated a guide/instructor for our first day on the mountain. They accommodated all of my requests via email and were very prompt and friendly. I was so grateful for the wonderful ski day their team provided. Juan was our guide/instructor and he was absolutely splendid to spend the day skiing with. I have been skiing my whole life and consider myself an advanced/expert skier from Utah and he was able to provide helpful instruction on ways I could improve as the terrain here is different from my usual. The other skier in our party is more novice to skiing and she was very much improved and more confident at the end of the day with his expert instruction. Juan had such a detailed way of explaining ski movement making his instruction easy to implement on the slopes. He was knowledgeable about the mountain and it’s history/culture and accommodated everything we wanted to accomplish. He was truly wonderful and we so enjoyed our experience with him and the rest of the diamond team.

For me this lake was the least beautiful from the 5 lake hike. Water was very clean and I guess would be better in the swimming season.

Good swimming in summer time! In july there was a lot of people like in a beach. It's perfect if you do a medium hiking from Sunnega and then you have a rest here. Good for family time.

Stunningly beautiful, incredible views, gorgeous water, not too cold. The hike up was equally beautiful and not too difficult either.

3rd lake in the trail. Some hikers enjoyed swimming here.

A very small alpine lake at 2300m in Zermatt, accessible from Riffelalp or Riffelberg on the Gornergratbshn. Also from Blauherd or Sunnegga if you are following the five lakes trail. This trail goes: Blauherd > Stellisee > Grindjisee > Moosjisee > Leisee > Sunnegga This lake doesn't get Matterhorn reflections but of course can have reflections of the surrounding mountains. Note if you stand just right, back away from the lake, you can get a peakaboo view of the Matterhorn and the lake.

In my opinion, way more beautiful and clearer water than the other lakes. You can swim amongst large trout in blue-green crystal clear water. The silt is also extremely soft and feels wonderful on tired feet. There is also a mountain spring chute that feeds the lake where you can refill your bottle with ice cold water!

Five lake hike is a 9 km point to point hike. You need to get to Sunegga using funicular, take gondola to Baluherd and hike back to Sunegga visiting 5 beautiful lakes. Each lake is different and offers unique views of the iconic Matterhorn. Gondola was closed so we had to hike more but it was totally worth it.

Best place to take a picture of the Matterhorn. Cocktails and Lounge chairs to take a rest and appreciate the best view.

Very unique. Personnelle were friendly and helpful. Views were amazing. Time went by fast. Great exorcism for one night on the Matterhorn!

Amazing views, great locale for a drink, good soundtrack, sadly detracted by too cool for school American bartender.

Chocolate coated dreams 😍 Lovely views and spectacular music selection. We kept staying for one more song 🎶

Had an amazing experience here! First of all the staff were brilliant, all so kind and informative. We started off with a mulled wine and a tour of the igloos. We then got given our room keys, had a fondue dinner and had the option of a hike in the snow which was really fun. We then went back and had our own allocated time in the Jacuzzi or sauna (30 minutes each). Before bed we went in the hut which had a big fire in the middle with brownies plates on top to warm them up to eat - this was such a lovely idea!

Fantastic experience. My daughter and I stayed overnight in the jacuzzi suite. Yes, it was super cold but lots of opportunities to warm up! We dined in the restaurant /communal area on cheese fondue and bread with a lovely starter of nuts, sausage and bread. On arrival we were served mulled wine. The music that was played outside and within the bar was great which added a happy vibe. Our hosts Stephan and Esmeralda were very warm and friendly, they were very reassuring and had all bases covered in relation to our safety and any possible emergencies. The night snow shoe walk was the most enjoyable time with a 45min hike to a fantastic view that will stay with me forever! The sleeping bags kept us warm and once asleep I slept really well. The next morning concluded with a 10 minute walk to a ski lodge hotel for breakfast, which was delicious!

We came up just to experience great view at magnificent Alpes , Matterhorn. And it was spectacular!!! The view is breathtaking. There are lounge chairs available to sit and enjoy the view , take some sunbathing and also a bar right there. We got Hot wine- it was super . Went into Igloo to see and it looks nice, but I wouldn’t sleep there, it’s super cold inside despite all the clothes you wear. Yes, they have sleeping sacks to keep you warm, but still. I know it’s an expensive, but not for everyone))) Yes , it’s also quite expensive to get to this top, for foreigners it’s 75 franks.

Wonderful lake with very very cold water

It was like barren land, seems closed for maintenance

Great little spot for picnics. Water is clear and cooling. There’s a small trail to explore too.

Seems lake has frozen in January

We stopped here to walk to the lake and look over the matterhorn, it's good. Unfortunately pretty cloudy on that day. Otherwise would have been a good spot.

Stopped by riffelberg on our way back to zermatt from gornegrat. This whole area has been amazing

Nice train going up to the summit of Gornergrat. The train looks cute and you can enjoy an amazing view from it during the whole journey (30 minutes).

A stunning countryside, best seen on the through a day hike in the region

What a spot to enjoy skiing and hiking with the majestic view of Matterhorn! ❤

Spectacular place, especially if reached by feet from Zermatt!

Beautiful view with quality food. Lunch on the picture with one more soup was 64 chf.
