Ski area Zermatt

With the "Zermatt – Täsch" lift pass, skiers and snowboarders gain access to 200 km of the best-prepared pistes as well as 32 modern lifts. The focus here is on the most important mountain in the region: the impressive Matterhorn with its almost 4,500 m altitude. Due to its altitude, the Zermatt-Matterhorn glacier ski area is particularly snow-sure - all year round. Passionate winter sports enthusiasts will find a variety of pistes of varying degrees of difficulty here, the longest of which is even 25 km long. The highest 3S railway in the world and the highest mountain station in Europe can also be found here. A special bonus with the "Zermatt - Täsch" lift pass is that the ride with the shuttle train between Täsch and Zermatt is included!

The lift pass upgrade "International" adds the Italian ski area of Breuil-Cervinia. An extraordinary adventure awaits skiers and snowboarders here, such as the cross-border "Matterhorn Ski Safari": on the "Gold" safari route, 12,500 metres of altitude can be covered and on the "Silver" safari route, 10,500 metres of altitude can be covered. From all the peaks, skiers also have a great view of the Matterhorn and do not have to ski the same piste twice.
