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. In the summer period the village streets are bustling with walkers, climbers and sightseers.
