Zermatt Photo Tour Page (scroll down for pictures)

Zermatt/Furi (6,188 ft.) Few sights are more inspiring than the view of the Matterhorn covered with a fresh dusting of white snow against a blue background that is so bright and clear that it hurts your eyes to gaze too long. The only thing that might improve this scene? The rewarding feeling you get from walking in the fresh crisp air to the vantage point where this view is possible. The Matter valley is surrounded by 30 peaks that are over 4,000 meters tall and between these peaks exist a labyrinth of valleys and trails that make this corner of Switzerland truly The Hiker’s Paradise. For those who are directionally challenged, the Matterhorn is a beacon always pointing the way south providing a visual reminder of why you came to Switzerland.

Most of our hikes in the Matter valley will end in Zermatt around 3:30 or 4:00 p.m. You will have plenty of time to explore the town before you take the gondola ride high above the town to our mountain retreat. There you can watch the lights of Zermatt come to life one at a time like stars in the sky.
