If you've never been to Zermatt, that should be in your bucket
list. The car-free village of Zermatt offers a rich variety of mountain
romance 365 days a year. Zermatt (at 1,620 m) has lots of life,
with many shops, cafes, bars, noble hotel and houses dating back
more than 500 years. Everything within a walk - even romantic neighbourhoods
and quiet corners. All paths eventually lead directly to the peaceful
and yet wild mountain world at the foot of the Matterhorn. We have
to take the train to get to the village. There are no cars that
bring you there.
