The Top Things to Do in Zermatt

If you love the outdoors, then you will love Zermatt. This beautiful town is the gateway to seeing the Matterhorn. No matter where you are in town, you will see it peering tall over the city. When you're in Zermatt, there are many options for hiking and skiing (in the winter months).

I almost didn't do this because it was fairly expensive, but it was worth every penny and I would do it again in a heartbeat! Any time of day would be stunning, but my friend and I went towards the end of the day, so the sun began to set while we were at the top. And it was the most beautiful ride back down the mountain.
