The towering Matterhorn, the absence of cars, and the resort's great sense of tradition give Zermatt a special, alluring atmosphere. Old weathered farmhouses stand among modern hotels and buildings, creating a unique and picturesque view, no matter where you look.
Zermatt sits at an elevation of 5,315 feet at the end of a long valley surrounded by three major ski areas - the Sunnegga, Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn - with lifts reaching almost 13,000 feet. The entire area is favored by a southern exposure and is often sheltered from the wind and generously endowed with snow. More than 75 lifts provide access to over 150 miles of groomed runs, with a good blend of beginner, intermediate and advanced terrain as well as over 30 on-mountain restaurants and bars to enjoy. It is even possible to ski to Cervinia in Italy for lunch! Non-skiers will enjoy an abundance of possible activities such as horse-drawn sleigh rides, 18 miles of prepared winter walking paths, shopping, helicopter sightseeing tours, ice skating, curling, indoor tennis or just relaxing at one of the many coffee and pastry shops or restaurants. This trip is hosted in Zermatt. You will travel independently from your home to the wonderful resort of Zermatt. When in Zermatt you will stay at the beautiful three-star Hotel Elite Garni centrally located in the resort. Just 200 meters away from lifts with 24 rooms. After a wonderful stay you will return home with the group via Geneva airport. Notes: Rrice varies depending on the location: East Coast $1187, Mid-West $1267, West Coast $1346.
