Switzerland – Zermatt

Lying at the foot of the Matterhorn, the world’s most photogenic mountain, the Matterhorn, Zermatt is a perfect, picturesque Alpine escape. Surrounded by 38 summits above 4,000m, the car-free town is full of life all year round. In heart of Zermatt lies The Omnia, a contemporary interpretation of the traditional mountain lodge. Complete with a Michelin-starred restaurant and an exclusive wellness centre, the hotel offers peace and tranquillity in the heart of the bustling town. For those with a greater sense for adventure, head higher up the mountains to Riffelalp Resort 2222m, where the journey to the resort is an experience in itself as the rack railway climbs and the commotion of the village is left behind, sit back, relax and enjoy the majestic view of the Matterhorn. In the summer, the area offers some of the most beautiful walking, biking and climbing areas in the Alps and the Riffelalp Resort offers a variety of activities including paragliding and helicopter tours.
