Ski Area

Zermatt boasts three lift stations – the Gornergrat Railway, the Sunnegga Funicular, and the Furi Gondola – all offering quick access to the mountains.

With its iconic Matterhorn backdrop, Zermatt offers some of the most impressive skiing in the world across the Swiss-Italian border. From satisfying reds and undulating blues to acres of off-piste terrain, there’s something for every skier.

The resort features a network of 200km of pistes across three sections – Sunnegga-Bauherd-Rothorn, Gornergrat-Stockhorn, and Trockener Steg-Schwarzsee – with top stations reaching over 3,000m. One favourite among our clients is the ‘White Hare’ run, which descends from the top of the ‘Hohtalli cable car’ to ‘Gant,’ offering a thrilling 1000m descent with plenty of twists and turns.
