Nothing like it in the world! A must to be seen from the village and in the mountains. Zermatt is worth a visit just to catch a view of this iconic mountain. More

Wow! A must see. Truly spectacular and an astonishing bit of nature. I never tired of looking at the Matterhorn from the ski lifts and every time I look back through my photos I think it is even more beautiful! Would have loved to have seen it from Switzerland too but weather did not permit. More

Great vistas - was pathway to ski in Italy (from Switzerland) - spring skiing, but snow still light & relatively fluffy, a pleasure! Fantastic Blue skies. In a week of skiing, only one day where winds prevented access to the top lifts. More
