Zermatt

Beginners stop reading now. Zermatt, according to some reporters, is as near as anywhere
to perfection, so long as you are an intermediate or advanced skier. Dominated by the
stunning scenery of the Matterhorn, Zermatt's pluses can be summarised as follows - awesome
scenery; amazing mountain restaurants; fantastic and varied skiing (also linked to Cervinia
in Italy); a charming and predominantly traffic-free town, bar the electric taxis; great
snow high up; all sorts of nightlife for everybody; great shopping; masses of non-skiing
activities to enjoy; a glacier for year-round skiing; good accommodation; a cosmopolitan
crowd; excellent boarding provision. Apart from all that, it's quite a good resort…
There are a few minor complaints, but nowhere is perfect. Often you may have a bit of a
trek to get to the lifts and there can be queues, particularly on the way up to the
skiing. Beginners don't have the greatest amount of choice. The 3 ski areas are
separate and rather poorly linked. It's at least 4 hours to the nearest international
airport. Oh, and it's seriously expensive, tending to attract the 'fur coat and poodle
brigade'
Overall, Zermatt has been described as 'the perfect ski destination' and 'about as complete
a resort as you can find'. Such plaudits are hard to argue and it must be on every
skier's itinerary, as long as the credit card can come too.
