Ski Zermatt: Mountain Layout & Where to Stay

Great vid! I went there in Jan. Did not manage to find the tree skiing you mentioned

Super helpful, thanks! How about Chamonix or Andermatt? I’m headed to Chamonix/Zermatt/Andermatt this Feb 😎 🤙

It is one of my favourite resorts. Always stayed on the Italian side in Cervinia to save some serious cash then skied over to Zermatt. Won't have any problem reaching as far as Sunnegga then getting back, as long as you are efficient (doesn't work when I have to lead a bunch of friends - can't afford to get stuck) and don't take the gornergrat railway which is super slow. And imo the restaurants in Cervinia are better than Zermatt. Also piste 7 in Cervinia is absolute joy.

That was an fantastic video. Both interesting and informative. You are quickly becoming one of the best online ski content creators. I especially enjoy how you incorporate resort logistics into your videos. That look on your face as a kid in the horse-drawn carriage 😂 … the odor of manure appears to have been strong.

Best and most informative video from Zermatt i have seen so far! 👏👏👏

Thank you this was very well done, I am a regular visitor to Zermatt

Is it summer time ? Is it snowing!?

As a local, this was well done and detailed. Only one mistake: you DO NOT tell people to skip HennuStall. It's the best thing on the mountain. Seeing drunk people stumble into the night on their skis at 7/8pm is a sight to behold.

Love your video, these are exactly the information for first timer visiting Zermatt. I’m planning to go to Chamonix with IKON pass this winter. Wish you have a video talking about that also. Thank you for sharing.

Great job man!! This is one of my favs on Zermatt so far!.

Very informative video! My friend and I just booked our flight for a week in Zermatt. We are intermediate/advanced skiers from Utah with Alta as our home ski area. Any recommendations on a reasonably priced hotel (reasonable by Zermatt standards)?

Thank you for sharing. It's very informative and helpful for first-time visitors.

Good video. One thing to add is that if you want to go over to Italy, check the forecast for wind in the afternoon, you don’t want to get stuck with the way back closed because of high winds. Taxi is like three hours and $$$

well done. Your enthusiasm is palpable.

One of the most helpful videos! thanks so much!

This is the best guide of any ski resort I have ever watched!

Yet another "know it all American" that can't pronounce the place names.

Sono gia' stata al confine della montagna perche' quella montagna segna come una bussola l'orientamento del dito indice. Montagna nel senso giallo, di chiesa. Da un lato e' il cervino (il toro) e dall'altro e' Matterhorn. Bisogna che sia la neve e il ghiaccio a dare accoglienza. La neve puo" accogliere o rifiutare. La neve rifiuta cio' che va a sinistra. Vi mando tutto il filmato. Una era li' ma il terreno, la neve e il ghiaccio l'ha rimandata in italy. Me subito al village, all'Old Zermatt dove ho preso una camera per una notte. Vi mando i filmati. Poi il cimitero vittime della montagna, che e' una vetrina di 'miniature' da tavolo. video. Old Zermat perche'. Noterete che esistono due tipi di architetture a Zermatt: in mattoni e vernice a bianco e gli chalet, in legno. Old Zermatt mi indica (a me) lo chalet in legno come elemento favorevole ed empatico.

Thank you very much for this! Extremely useful for my trip in December

LOL Cervino... also known as Breuil-Cervinia. Cervino is the Italian name for the Matterhorn.. fyi.

I"m planning my trip to zermatt and found your video SO GOOD!! I was smiling the entire way through. And it was super informative to understand the layout of the mountains and logistics of getting around! Thanks for taking the time to make this content.

i have time and money to go, but no buddies to go with :(

Great video!
My husband & I are going to Zermatt this May 2024. We dont ski and can only do easy hikes due to bad knee. We will definitely explore Zermatt using cable cars, funiculars, etc. What pass/ticket should we buy to be able to explore the area? Also, we know staying in the center is very expensive, any idea where to stay for budget travellers that is near the center for 2 nights? No need for fancy hotels as long as we have private bathroom. Thanks

How do I find lift tickets for the mountain?? Are they all the same mountain? Are they under the same resort? Their website is so confusing

Great video! Are most the runs narrow/cat track style or are there some open bowls? Also, it looks like you spent a lot of time riding lifts. Are lift logistics a hassle or are there high-speed quads where you can do easy laps?

Excellent job. Good video.

Thank you for a very informative overview. I'm trying to plan and have been a little overwhelmed by the maps I'm finding. Your video is extremely helpful. But to clarify, can you access the entire mountain regardless of which lift you stay near?

THANKS. Fantastic information.

Wait... you made it all the way to Cervinia and nobody corrected your mispronunciation? Chair-vin-eee-ah.. Otherwise, great video. Very informative.

The highest point in Europe is Mount Elbrus, not Matterhorn. Nice video though.

This was really fun and full of cool info.

Brilliant video thank you. We go to Austria every year but wanted to visit Matter Horn for ages. Thanks for putting this together and to locals for small recommendations 🙂👍🏻

Terrific video. Short and super informative. Thanks!

Surprised by apres ski on the slopes? Never been to Austria I guess 😅

Nice video, I stayed near the Sunegga funicular and always made it back in time so very limited walking in that way.
There is a direct aerial tram from Furi to Trockener Steg which opens on crowded times in the morning.
Last, most important thing: the connection to Italy is not always open. Avoid early and late season if you want to enjoy that.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. VERY ORGANIZED. VERY INFORMATIVE. VERY CLEAR. OT WAS SO CONFUSING AND YOUR VIDEO MADE IT ALL CLEAR!!!!!!

When you ski to Cervinia, do you actually touch base at the village itself? How to go back to Zermatt please???

If u know plz, is blue in Zermatt really compatible with green "beginner" in USA???? And the red zermatt with the blue USA? I hope Zermat's codes are more advanced where a blue is actually a blue in USA and a red in Zermatt is a black in USA?! Plz your input is appreciated

Do you need to carry an ID/passport while skiing Zermatt??

How long is the cable ride from zermatt to Cervinia to actually start skiing?

"This does not look like North America" you must not have spent much time in the San Juans.

The most gorgeous place,there is no other! Awesome, really awesome.

you have the best channel for cool slope reviews!

I was there this past March, had an amazing blue bird powder day!

How is it over the summer? I want to go end of June

Very informative thanks!

Awesome video! Exactly what we needed to plan our trip. We have one question though. Is Glacier Paradise or Gornegrat better for beginners?
