The 15 Best Zermatt & Matterhorn Experiences

15 reviewed

Zermatt keeps the cars out and the mountain in view from almost every street. These are the bookings that justify the long train ride: the Gornergrat railway, tandem flights along the north face, private ski lessons through the winter, and the long day trips that reach it from Zurich or Geneva.

“Keira is a god send teacher for me. I was very scared and she had made me feel confident enough to try to learn and I taught me how to have basic necessary skills to ski with confidence!!

That was an additional $30 Euro. Additionally, my friend and I took off at the same time but I was on the ground 10 minutes before him.”

“Our guided hike with Matthew was an unforgettable experience! He led us on a beautiful trail that passed through two charming mountain villages—something we never would have discovered on our own. Along the way, he shared fascinating insights about the area’s history and nature, all while being kind, funny, and incredibly easy to talk to. Matthew also gave us detailed instructions for a hike we wanted to do the next day, plus helpful recommendations for the rest of our trip. He truly listened to what we were looking for and delivered exactly that. My family and I highly recommend booking an outdoor experience with him!”

“We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide, Jack, met us at our hotel and first took us by train to Mt Gornergrat to see amazing views. We then toured the Zoom museum and had a lovely lunch on the mountain. After our time on the mountain, we came back by train to Zermatt where Jack showed us key sites, restaurants and shopping in Zermatt. Along the way, we learned much about the culture and history of the town. I would highly recommend the tour and Jack as the guide.”
