Zermatt in winter is more than just skiing - it's a complete alpine experience. Our top 5 highlights show you just how varied winter around the Matterhorn can be: From group ski lessons for every level to guided snowshoe tours in untouched nature and an intensive freeride experience on Guided Freeride Day. Those who like it sporty can start the day with a ski tour to Pfulwe or discover the magic of the slopes for the first time with Snowli.
Gliding through the Zermatt winter on a snowboard simply feels good. In your very own private lesson with an experienced snowboard instructor, you will learn exactly what you need: safe basics, new tricks or confident technique on red and black slopes. With a view of the Matterhorn, without any pressure but with lots of fun and individual coaching. Ready to progress on your snowboard?
Whether with one board or two boards under your feet. With our versatile snow sports instructors, anything is possible! Improve your carving style with a CARV coach, work on your endurance on the cross-country ski trail or take a telemark course for a new challenge.
A 4000 meter peak to start with and a descent to remember. The Breithorn above Zermatt is the perfect summit for your first high-alpine ski tour. After the glacier ascent with your ZERMATTERS mountain guide, you will stand at 4,164 m and have an unobstructed view of the Matterhorn and the rest of the snow-covered Valais Alps. The crowning glory: the long, enjoyable descent over the Theodul Glacier down to Zermatt.
Not only classic ski tours await you in winter, but also training courses such as our avalanche courses or taster tours. On La Traversata, you will tackle a via ferrata on the border between Switzerland and Italy. You carry your skis on your rucksack and are ready for a great off-piste descent at the end. In high winter, you also have the opportunity to discover the impressive world of ice climbing with us.
