I went in summer and while it was still beauitful and full of walkers I think it might have even more atmosphere in winter seeing at it really is a winter holiday resort. I would love to see this place covered in snow.

Contrarian viewpoint

Although I agree that Zermatt (or, more accurately, the surrounding landscape) is worth visiting, next time I go I’ll save money by booking lodging down the hill in Tasch or one of the other towns along the road. It’s an easy matter to take the morning train up to Zermatt and day trip on the trails, and that way you can avoid the crowds and high prices in Zermatt itself.

The first time I went to this place

It dumped 20 inches of snow (after hardly in Europe at all this season) on my birthday. Made for a wonderful white birthday with some sweet powder riding.

Only regret is I got serious altitude sickness when we took the tram up to Cervina, so I didn’t get to board the Italian side. They say it can hit you once and then never again, or now and then, or sometimes all the time- so hopefully next time I’m up that high I won’t feel like I’m going to hurl and pass out. :>

I can only imagine how amazing this place is when it’s snowing day after day after day. Ah, I hope to go back!
