Zermatt

The resort town of Zermatt lies at the foot of the Matterhorn, one of the most distinctive mountains in the world. In winter Zermatt is dominated by skiers and is part of a ski region with over 186 miles (300 kilometres) of pistes. The town has a unique charm, protected by strict planning guidelines and a ban on cars; although this ban only relates to combustion-engine cars - battery powered vehicles are permitted and you are sure to see a variety of quirky electric cars and taxis in Zermatt.

With a permanent population of fewer than 6,000, Zermatt is predominately a tourist destination, attracting visitors all year round for skiing, hiking, climbing and sightseeing.

Classic Glacier Express in Winter
17/Mar
Dr Mike Smith
5 stars
“We were blessed with fine weather, blue sky and sunshine most of the time. Given that, much of the experience was “out of this world“. A breathtaking experience in fact. Excellent and interesting hotels throughout. The tour manager, James Crowe, was friendly, supportive and well organised, providing us with information on each day. Trains were modern, clean, and comfortable throughout, and well designed for maximum viewing. Truly memorable.

“Great experience the only reason I haven't score 5 stars is on a couple of occasions when leaving the train stations we had a long walk with our luggage to the hotel, although you had the option of using the "sherpa " service you still needed to carry anything you needed eg. wash kit and some clothing until your suitcase arrived at the hotel, apart from that I would highly recommend this experience wonderful.

“The rail tour was an excellent experience and the tour manager we had was very good at making sure we knew exactly what we were doing every day and managing any small issues that arose. The hotel accommodation and food on the whole did not match the quality of the rail journeys.
