Luxury and first class hotels offer style and tradition, but standards of efficiency and service throughout are second to none. Even the mid-range and simple hotels offer service and ambience which are among the best of their kind. Before looking at the Hotel List , it is worth taking note of Zermatt's different holiday seasons. European holidays fall within these periods and Zermatt is a thriving village. Even though the resort is busy, thankfully without cars it never feels overcrowded.
Accommodation is at a premium.
Snow cover is generally superb. Nightlife is excellent. To avoid disappointment, please book as far as possible in advance - preferably months ahead for high season. Mountain lifts are very often 'walk' or 'ski-on'. In the winter period snow conditions are normally excellent.
