Zermatt's location at the foot of the Matterhorn and in the middle of a large hiking and skiing region makes it one of the most attractive holiday villages anywhere. The ski area comprises 54 cable cars and lifts and 360 kilometres of pistes. The "Matterhorn glacier paradise" area is the largest and highest summer skiing area in Europe. Numerous national ski teams train here in summer.
