Zermatt

Whether winter, spring, summer or autumn - the Matterhorn unfolds its own splendour in every season. Each season has its own special charm. Perhaps you'd like to visit us in a season you haven't yet experienced?

❄ Winter season: December - April Zermatt in winter is pure magic. The village and the surrounding mountains are wrapped in a white cloak, and in the evening the twinkling lights create a warm, cosy atmosphere. The Zermatt - Matterhorn destination is also blessed with sunshine, and the days get longer and longer as the season progresses. Whether you want to get active or simply enjoy the winter sun on one of the numerous terraces - you'll find the perfect winter experience here.

🌼Short spring: May Spring in the mountains is short, but shows a special beauty. The snow gradually melts, the birds return, chirping, and the Matterhorn village continues to offer many experiences. Whether sightseeing on the Gornergrat or in the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise or an exciting hike on the culture trail - all this is also possible in the mountain spring.

☀ Summer season: June - August The mountain summer is refreshing and a real balm for the soul. Colourful flowers bloom everywhere and the larches and meadows glow in lush green. The nature around Zermatt opens up for countless adventures. Cool glacial lakes invite you to linger and the species-rich animal world can now be observed particularly well.

🍂 Magical autumn: September - November The golden autumn - our insider tip. The days are getting shorter but by no means less beautiful. On the contrary: autumn in the mountains enchants with an impressive play of colours. Nature gradually prepares for hibernation and the countless larch trees on the slopes around Zermatt colour the landscape in bright gold.
