Mountain railways make it easy to reach the high altitude rambling areas.
There are many mountain cabins and restaurants ready to offer a warm welcome and a leisurely rest. Alpine tourism was the beginning of Zermatt's development. Situated at the foot of the Matterhorn and surrounded by 36 fourthousend-meter high mountains, Zermatt has always been the beloved goal for mountain climbers from all over the world. The Zermatt Alpine Center organizes training sessions, day tours, glacier walks every day, while for longer tours there are 80 state-registered mountain guides available for our guests.
