Zermatt, the resort at its base, has developed into one of the most attractive of all mountain villages – without losing any of its charm or authenticity. Gourmets can expect no end of treats, not least in the many mountain restaurants. And all visitors will be enchanted by the impressive excursions up on high: Matterhorn glacier paradise (3,883 m) is the highest viewpoint in Europe that can be comfortably reached by cable car; Rothorn paradise (3,103 m) shows the Matterhorn from its most photogenic side; and once on the viewing platform of the Gornergrat (3,131 m), you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of no fewer than twenty-nine 4000-m-high peaks
