COME TO ZERMATT FOR THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS

If you think of Zermatt as just skiing, you're wrong! Although the slopes of the Theodulus Glacier are open all year round, Zermatt and its surroundings are far from having revealed all their secrets to you. You can discover the village in a new light during your summer holidays, and life is even sweeter when the weather is warm. The almost everlasting snow on the surrounding mountains will offer you breath-taking views from the best panoramas in the area, but the real joy of discovering Zermatt in summer is the hiking.

Whether you are exploring the heights of the village or the Swiss mountains, you will find hikes for every level of ability and experience, with breath-taking views and ever-changing vistas. The mountain path that most reflects the diversity of the region is the 5-Seenweg, also known as the Five Lakes Road. These mysterious stretches of water are scattered along a natural route, where you will encounter a variety of flora and fauna specific to Switzerland. Three of these lakes reflect the Matterhorn, a majestic mountain that will accompany you all summer long in Zermatt!

If you are eager for thrills, come and explore the region from a new angle: paragliding trips are available in Zermatt:

Is hiking too monotonous for your taste? Mountain biking is also popular on the Valais trails. Another way to spend a holiday in the sun, as you hurtle down the slopes of the most beautiful mountains. Whether it's a family holiday or a holiday with friends, there's something for everyone!

What if the village of Zermatt has won you over and you don't see how leaving it could make your holiday any better? Health trails and high-ropes courses should satisfy the holidaymaker who wants to clear his head. Finally, if you are fans of the driving range or the precision putt, Zermatt has a golf club. A gigantic playground, in an idyllic setting.
