The Zermatt area is dominated by the stunning scenery of the Matterhorn and the pluses of a Zermatt ski holiday 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 for a ski holiday…
