In the little town of Zermatt, roughly 155 miles from Zurich and the Geneva airport, there are no traditional cars in sight. That’s because Zermatt, which sits nestled protectively by Matterhorn Mountain, is car-free to prevent pollution. This is only one of the wonderful benefits of visiting. Visitors heading into Zermatt to climb Matterhorn, or simply enjoy some magnificent views from the base, can get there easily by train from the nearby valley towns of Brig and Visp as well as Tasch, which is less than six miles away. Once you’ve reached Matterhorn Switzerland public transport, in the form of battery operated buses and taxis, will take you wherever you wish to go in the area.
All around Matterhorn Switzerland tourists congregate, especially in the high season in the winter and the summer months. Zermatt is flooded with visitors and its small population of 6,000 balloons to about 20,000 visitors annually. Famous for being one of the best resorts for skiing and boarding in Switzerland, Zermatt is flanked by three additional ski resorts. In the summer months many climb Matterhorn, but visitors are also still skiing at this time of year atop of the still-frozen glaciers and sometimes all the way down to the town. Annual ski passes make Matterhorn travel popular throughout the year and hardly a day goes by when conditions aren’t prime.
