The skiing was great but not as demanding as I was led to believe. Some of the lifts got very busy and there was a lot of walking to get to the lifts. We spent 1 hour one morning just getting from our hotel to the Trockener steg, it seemed we spent more time on lifts than skis. Zermatt is by no means cheap and we were paying about 60CHF every day on lunch, but that’s all part of the holiday. Overall, Zermatt is a lovely place and the Matterhorn is breathtaking, but the lack of ski convenience did put us off a bit as did nearly being run over a couple of times by the electric taxis!! A great ski resort, but I'd rather do ski to door

Zermatt has got the best combination of slopes, and fabulous restaurants - the 2 most important things for me. It can be very expensive, but there are well priced apartments, and you can cater for your self to make it all a bit cheaper. The skiing is superb! The Gornergrat offers easy skiing, there are unlimited off-piste/touring options, and the scenery is astonishing. It never fails to delight.
Review by Toby from Croydon on Friday Jan 9th. Visited Zermatt in december 2008 as single
The village atmosphere is phenominal... with superb (if a little pricey) bars and amazing restaurants, Apres-Ski is beaten by only the lariest of resorts. The mountains differ greatly depending on which ones you ski, and the weather will dictate where you (can) go. Klein Matterhorn is amazing but truly brutal in all but the best conditions. Gornergrat is relaxed and rolling, and accessed via a 45 minute train-ride. Rothorn, Blauherd and Sunnegga provide some of the best views of the Matterhorn, and bars (and bands) positioned strategically to make the most of the scenery! What they say is true - you have to Ski Zermatt before you die... don't let it be your regret! You will fall in love with
Review by Lindsey Austin from London on Thursday Nov 27th. Visited Zermatt in february 2008 as friends
The resort is absolutely stunning but can be difficult to ski. Zermatt is made up of 3 ski ares (discounting Cervinia), Klein Matterhorn, Sunnega and Gornagrat. The Klien Matterhorn is served by a modern gondola, Sunnega by a funnicular (Think London underground at rush hour) and Gornergrat by an old railway, which, if you lack patience, is not ideal as it takes about 40 minutes. The skiing is good for intermediates, the only real challenge lies in the infamous Trifji Bumps on Sunnega, this is Europes longest mogul field and gives your legs a real workout. As far as food is concerned, Zermatt is the Land if the Mountain Resturaunts, with over 40 to choose from. I would recommend Franz + Heid
Review by Michael Bagnold from Middlesbrough on Sunday Sep 7th. Visited Zermatt in february 2008 as couple
I went skiing in Zermatt at the end of february, I have had a very nice time, what a beautiful area it is. The skiing is great and the connection with Italy's is wonderful. What is also fine is the pedestrianised centre of the village. The restaurants are also good, all in all I've had a superb time. Next year back to Zermatt!
