What is the skiing like in Zermatt for beginners?
Beginner skiers in Zermatt are well catered for with numerous blue pistes and 3 dedicated beginner zones, the most popular being ‘Wolli’s Park’ on the Sunnegga side. You can even buy a dedicated lift pass for this zone, which is considerably cheaper than a regular lift pass and still includes the Sunnegga Express and a few beginner lifts.
What is the skiing like in Zermatt for intermediate?
Intermediate skiers in Zermatt will find no end of suitable terrain and with a large number of red runs, Zermatt is great for intermediates looking to challenge themselves. For some easy cruisers (often with the best snow) head to the Klein Matterhorn Glacier, or if you want to acclimatise to the altitude first, start on the Gornergrat side before progressing higher.
What is the skiing like in Zermatt for experts?
As an expert skier in Zermatt you will not be disappointed; start out the steeper black pistes on the Sunnegga side before progressing onto some of Zermatt’s many off-piste itinerary runs (marked as yellow on the map). If that wasn’t enough, Zermatt is known as the heliski capital of Europe and is one of the few resorts in Switzerland where you can experience this incredible activity!
When is the best time to ski in Zermatt?
Zermatt is the only European resort to be open all year with guaranteed snow even in summer! However, to experience all of Zermatt’s vast terrain and sophisticated lifts you will need to visit between December and the end of April, when the resort is fully open.
