1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Host City Zermatt Zermatt (7'700 inhabitants, elevation 1'620 m) is the most famous mountain village with the most photographed mountain in the world. In the Zermatt – Matterhorn resort, which includes the villages of Zermatt, Täsch and Randa, there are, among others, alpinists, ski fans, pleasure seekers and nature lovers. Alpine mountaineers ascend the Matterhorn (4,478 m) following the footsteps of the first climber, Edward Whymper, who managed to reach the mountain’s summit along the famous Hörnligrat in 1865. Guests can conveniently reach the centre of the Alpine village by train. Zermatt has always been car-free. Here one can go everywhere by foot in summer and winter, use the horse-drawn carriages or the small electric taxis, which take luggage to the hotels and apartments along the narrow streets. Zermatt is a pioneer in sustainability: Many companies (hotels, restaurants, mountain railways, etc.) have been conscientious in their responsible management of resources for decades: water, electricity, transportation, waste management and construction technology are all used carefully. 360 kilometres of pistes await winter sports enthusiasts who can use the groomed trails on the Swiss and the Italian sides of the Matterhorn from morning until late afternoon. In summer, the area on the Theodul glacier still has 21 kilometres of piste available on snowsure groomed slopes. This means: Snow sports are possible in Zermatt 365 days a year. Winter hikers and snowboarders can also enjoy this snow-covered sports setting. Furthermore, there are over 400 km of marked hiking trails available in summer.
Outstanding cuisine awaits the guests in the village, in the hotels and along the hiking trails and ski pistes in the mountains: 17 restaurants collectively have a total of 242 GaultMillau points. Many of Zermatt’s hotels and restaurants are family enterprises, which uphold and offer their traditions and provide their guests with a high level of service. It is not surprising that 80 per cent of their customers are loyal, long- standing guests. New and historic hotels all are constructed to the highest standards. Many of them are characterized by an Alpine chic style using stone, glass and often old, well-preserved wood. If you want to enjoy shopping and strolling, you can along the Bahnhofstrasse. In the evening guests and locals choose from numerous clubs, bars and dancing emporia to pass a long night. Find more information on www.zermatt.ch.
