For the spectacular skiing on a glacier or down the black diamond runs of Gornergrat or the Klein Matterhorn, helicopter skiing tours, a healing visit to the popular health and living thermal baths, hiking the spectacular Alps in summer, or just to see this totally unique one-of-a-kind corner of the world (see Honeymoon - Swiss Style). The Zermatt aerial tram up the slopes of the world’s most famous mountain peak is the longest and highest cable car ride on the planet with matterhorn aerial tram ski sightseeing and romantic destination switzerland photobreathtaking views of the high snow-capped Alps. Not as familiar as its jet-setter cousin St. Moritz, a stop here is mandatory for anyone who wants a lifetime memory or a one-of-a-kind romantic getaway from the “real world” in this Switzerland fantasy land. Snow crunching under your feet down the central lane of the village where tradition has remained for the princes of Europe and casual ski bums who have known this secret place. Slipping into a hot bubbling tub with a glass of champagne with the steam condensing in the crisp alpine air under 16,000 foot peaks, Zermatt is truly one of the most romantic and magical places in the world for honeymoon, anniversary, or just a getaway.

Hotel Walliserhoff Swiss Chalet style hotel Zermatt photoThere are many hotels and chalets in Zermatt to choose. The Monte Rosa is one of the first and most traditional hotels, which welcomed visitors who came for the mountain sports with its bar where many a mountaineer has tipped a drink since the 1920’s the night before scaling the peak. The Grand Hotel Zermatterhof is one of the grandest of the jet setter landmarks, with a price to match. For excellent value and style, The Hotel Walliserhof is a four star chalet style family-owned hotel offering a perfect balance of affordable first class jet-set style. Off-Season prices are a little bit softer on the wallet.

Next door to the Thermal Baths of Burgerbad with its Rheumtism and Health rehabilitation clinic, the Wallishof also has its own sauna and baths, paying special attention to cater to couples here for a honeymoon, anniversary or just a romantic getaway.

Many of the rooms have balconies which look out on the mountains and the wood beamed Swiss Chalet interior is a warm sanctuary. The restaurants, shops and bars of the main village are just outside the door or venture no father than this four star hotel’s intimate candlelit "Stübli", elegant grill room restaurant or terrace.

The best way to reach Zermatt (in southern Switzerland) is by train from Milan Italy via Trentalia (Italian National Railway) to Brig or from Geneva or Zurich (via Lucerne) on Swissrail (see Glacier Express). You can drive, but cars are not allowed in Zermatt and have to park in Visp and the winter roads in the Alps can be an adventure all their own. © Bargain Travel Europe
