Zermatt

The beautiful town of Zermatt is located on the Swiss border with Italy, in the canton of Valais. It lies at the foot of the Matterhorn Mountain, which stands at a height of 4478 metres. With about 300 sunny days a year, Zermatt is perfect for everyone who wants to enjoy a top-class ski holiday in the highest area of the Alps. Since 1947, only electric cars and buses without a combustion engine are allowed to drive in the town. This fact guarantees clean, fresh air and the best conditions for all kinds of sports and activities.

A further highlight is the skiing facilities in summer - about 20 kilometres of the pistes are available for 365 days a year.
