The first time we arrived in Zermatt, we saw the giant constructions of the Matterhorn Glacier ride. Therefore, we decided to return after it was finished before we reviewed Zermatt for you.
When we returned, we discovered that since then, they have built the 1st autonomous gondola in the world and have several big projects planned to make this superb ski resort the best in the world.
the most iconic mountain in the world, the Matterhorn (4478m), stands tall in the middle of the ski area and gives it its name: Matterhorn Ski Paradise.
Zermatt shares this ski area with the towns of Valtournenche and Cervinia on the Italian side. The total length of the continuous ski runs in the Matterhorn ski paradise is 360km! 210km are part of the Swiss side, and 150km are on the Italian side.
The highest FIS ski race globally is in Zermatt and is the only one stretching over two countries. But this is far from being the only record Zermatt conquered. Zermatt has the highest cable car station (3883m), the highest ski lift of 3899m, and the highest 3S cable car globally. As well as the longest ski run in the world with a fantastic length of 25km. And finally, it is also the largest glacier ski area globally and the highest ski area in Europe.




On the other side of the train station, you will see the terminal of the Gornergrat train, an iconic train line that will take you to the highest open train station in Europe, at the highest Gonergrat peak of 3089m.

Ski Area
The 360 km of continuous runs are divided into 74 km of blue runs, 227 km of red runs, 20 km of black runs, and 36 km of yellow freeride trails. The total number of slopes is 148, served by 54 lifts.
Matterhorn ski paradise is the highest ski area in Europe and the best summer ski option in the northern hemisphere.
The highest point in Matterhorn ski paradise is the highest point in all European ski resorts at 3899 meters, and the lowest is 1620 meters at Zermatt village.
Almost a 2400 meters altitude difference! The whole natural theatre around Zermatt is like the Alps on steroids. The diversity of terrain here is unreal.
Slopes recommendations:
Sunnegga- Rohorn area:
Run 3 red
Run 15 red
Run 7 blue
Run 6 blue
Run 19 red:
Gornergrat area:
Run 44 red
Generally, the central area of the Gornergrat, like runs 35 and 45, is excellent for curving or speed cruising, where you can find plenty of nice off-piste playgrounds.
Matterhorn Glacier Paradise:
Here you can find the longest ski run in the world, from the highest mountain station in Europe at 3883 meters down to Zermatt village at 1620 meters: It is 15km long if you measure it straight down, but 25 km of skiing.

The highest FIS ski race globally is in Zermatt and is the only one stretching over two countries. The “Gran Becca” race starts at 3700m and finishes in Cervinia at Lagi Cime Bianche at 2865 meters. “Gran Becca” is the nickname by the locals in Valtournenche and Cervinia for the Matterhorn.
For those unfamiliar with FIS, the speed events are downhill and super G. Super G means super giant slalom.
In 2023, after the opening of the new 3s gondola connecting Testa Grigia peak to Klein Matterhorn, the race will begin 100 meters higher, at 3800m.
