In Zermatt, everything is a little different. Instead of the noise of cars, you hear the clippety-clop of horse-drawn carriages and the quiet whirring of electromobiles. In the Zermatt region, 313 kilometres of ski pistes, countless kilometres of hiking trails, 21 hectares of golf, 58 cableways, chair lifts and ski lifts and 38 4,000-metre peaks wait to be discovered. And of course, Switzerland’s preeminent landmark, the most beautiful and most often photographed mountain in the world, the Matterhorn.
