Skiing on the highest mountain in Switzerland? Go to Zermatt for your winter holiday
Among the other four thousanders (peaks which rise above 4000 metres, or 13,000 feet) rises the majestic king of the mountains: the legendary Matterhorn (4478 m high). The Zermatt ski area offers a total of 138 kilometres of marked runs for good skiers. The three large ski areas are, admittedly, not ideally connected with one another, but an electric bus does offer some help in getting around. This Alps metro has a smooth run from Zermatt up to Sunnegga.

For those with a bit more experience, there are various black runs, including the 'Triftji', which is the most beautiful in the Oberwallis region. Cross-country skiers will find a few pistes set out for them, and hikers can enjoy a good dozen trails in the pretty area.
