Ski area Zermatt

In the Zermatt-Matterhorn ski region, the "Zermatt" lift pass gives you access to 200 kilometres of the finest pistes and 32 modern lift systems. These include the highest 3S cable car in the world. Superlatives reign supreme in this fabulous area: at almost 4,000 metres above sea level, the great Matterhorn glacier paradise is the highest ski area in the Alps. The highest lift on the Klein Matterhorn reaches up to 3,883 metres, making it the highest mountain station in the whole of Europe. From up here, you have a fantastic panoramic view of 38 Alpine giants and 14 glaciers. The Zermatt-Matterhorn glacier ski area is one of the most popular ski resorts in Switzerland, not least due to its versatility and reliability of snow all year round. The longest piste here is 25 kilometres long and with blue, red and, above all, many black pistes, there is a piste to suit every taste and every level of skier. All in all, you can look forward to almost endless kilometres of piste - always with a view of the striking peak of the Matterhorn.

With the "International" lift pass, you also get access to Cervinia in Italy, extending your descent to a total of 360 km (see region). For the ultimate round tour of all the ski mountains in the region, we recommend the Matterhorn Ski Safari. On two different routes (Safari Silver and Safari Gold), you can ski fantastic pistes all day long without having to take the same lift twice. Starting at the Rothorn, the route takes you via Riffelberg, the Theodul Glacier, Trockener Steg, the Matterhorn glacier paradise, Breuil-Cervinia, Testa Grigia and finally back to Zermatt via Stafelalp.

As if the wide choice of slopes wasn't enough, the region also offers other special features, such as the "Slow Slopes". All skiers must ski slowly and in a controlled manner on these specially signposted pistes. A perfect area for cautious skiers and connoisseurs who are not necessarily looking for a speed rush. Several snowparks and a total of 36 kilometres of secured off-piste runs for experienced freeriders round off the truly varied skiing offer around the Matterhorn.


If you are staying in Täsch, you can use the shuttle train between Täsch and Zermatt free of charge. Your "Zermatt-Täsch" lift pass is a valid ticket.

Night skiing Zermatt

Skiing down the almost empty pistes by moonlight while admiring the sparkling lights of Zermatt? Not only does it sound beautiful, but it's also possible every full moon night between December and April on the Rothorn. Included with the purchase of a night skiing ticket is an aperitif on the Blauherd, followed by a unique descent with a view of the Matterhorn by moonlight.
