?Zermatt is a place all skiers must go to before they die? Well, the guide books that state that are spot on. It?s that time of year again, when keen skiers & boarders start to think about their next winter holiday, and where it should be this year. Well, if you haven?t tried Zermatt, Switzerland, then this resort should be near the top of your list. It?s simply excellent. I have been there several times, and love it. There?s a charm, a magic that runs through the lively and attractive village. The lifts are fast and efficient and the runs which take you through stunning scenery, seem to always be in excellent condition. Zermatts height affords the resort a fantastic snow record with skiing from early on in the season till mid April. The resort has three main mountains. Rothorn, Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn. All three offer fantastic ...
a few minutes walk from Nana Sky train.
There is a huge variety of shops, restaurants and bars within walkin distance to choose from.

The short train journey will then arrive at the train station where you can pick up a free transfer from the hotels electric powered mini bus. We just walked which was about 10/15mins as it's at the opposite end of the resort. The hotel is beautifully furnished with pine clad on the walls & ceilings in the rooms. You must ask for a Matterhorn view, it will just make your holiday to wake up every morning & see the mountain from your bed. Our room was on the top floor so we had velux windows to really maximise the views. We stayed on a half board & you get a set menu with 2/3 choices. Being pregnant I was limited to what I could eat & if ...
