Skiing in Zermatt is on a vast scale, surrounded as it is by 29 peaks all over 4000m including the ever-present Matterhorn. The skiing divides into three areas that are linked to the mountain, Sunnegga, Rothorn, Gornergrat. They offer everything from Switzerland's longest ski run (22 km) to wide carving runs and mogul fields and even access to Cervinia in Italy with the correct ski pass.
Beginners ***
While beginners will find several broad, safe and beautiful areas to ski, which are ideal for learning in, it isn’t that easy to venture far. There are few beginner trails linking the huge mountain ranges, making Zermatt suitable only for beginners who enjoy a challenge
Intermediates ****
Zermatt holds enormous appeal for intermediate skiers who will find a wealth of terrain to explore and enjoy with our ski pass. Expect to ski for miles on varied terrain on the very long runs which link all of Zermatt's ski areas. A trip to Cervinia in Italy is accessible even to intermediates so the area offers the chance to ski 2 countries in a weekend.
Advanced *****
Zermatt is justifiably famous for its advanced skiing and mogul fields as well as steep forested gullies. A large part of Zermatt's appeal lies in its large off-piste areas. However, these can be a long way from the pisted areas, and as such should not be undertaken without a guide. With access to Cervinia on the Italian side too advance skiers have plenty of scope.
