The Resort

Dominated by Switzerland's most famous landmark - the Matterhorn, this car free resort with a great sense of tradition has a special alluring atmosphere which draws us back time and time again. A dazzling 29 mountain peaks over 4,000m surround you in what is said to be Switzerland's best all round resort. With it's snow sure altitude it is our home at the beginning and end of the season.



The Skiing

The skiing in Zermatt is on a vast scale with a 3 ski areas reaching at least 3,100m which, translates into excellent snow conditions and the longest winter season in the Alps. These mountains with the huge variety of terrain make for ideal coaching conditions for all levels which and allows our clients to perform at their best.

The town is also a mecca for ski tourers. For good reason as the snow conditions in April are excellent and travelling through such inspiring mountains is something special.



Accommodation

We us a number of bases depending on the time of year and in December we use the excellent facilities of the Hotel Jagerhof which is 5-10 minutes walk from the Klien Matterhorn lift and has a good restaurant which makes it great value as eating out in Zermatt can get expensive.

In the Spring we use the Hotel Alpenrose which is just a short 2 min walk from the Klien Matterhorn lift and its twin rooms are all ensuite and we have a choice of either bed & breakfast or half board. For more details just call the office on 01908 237012
