The car-free resort Zermatt is located at an altitude of 1'620 m above sea-level in the south-west of Switzerland. This idyllic village in the Matter Valley in the canton of the Valais nestles amongst fabulous scenery of mountains and glaciers and offers visitors a fantastic panorama of 38 four-thousand-metre (over 12'000 ft) peaks. Excellent cuisine in the village of Zermatt and in the mountain restaurants are an invitation to linger. A touch of chic mixed with the idyllic atmosphere of a mountain village give Zermatt that special feeling.
