ZERMATT in Switzerland: The MOST SCENIC skiing village of the alps
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2020
- Join my tour through Zermatt in Switzerland and it's highlights - my best tipps for one of the finest destinations of the alps for wintersports with possibilities to ski year round and a car-free fairytale village.
Have you ever been dreaming of a real winter wonderland? Of a place where glaciers cover part of the mountains, where the wind dances with clouds and where snow wraps the rocky peaks like a soft blanket? This place exists in a valley in Switzerland. Welcome to Zermatt - a car- free village in the Swiss mountains.
After taking the Lötschberg car train from Kandersteg to Goppenstein we left our vehicle in Täsch - to approach car free Zermatt with it's customized electric vehicles. We rented an apartment in the quarter Winkelmatt (close to the cablecar that goes to Trockener Steg / Zermatt Glacier Paradies).
Here are my favorite things to do in Zermatt:
- Ski the breathtaking slopes
- Enjoy the view on Matterhorn, one of the most famous mountains in the world!
- Have lunch in a mountain hut at the sunny terrace of a restaurant and try Swiss Rösti or the speciality of canton vallais - the "Käseschnitte"
- Cross the border to Italy on skis!
- Discover the old town of Zermatt with its 500 year old barns and traditional houses
- Shop at idyllic Bahnhofstrasse in Zermatt Downtown
- Hike the surrounding mountains of Zermatt (e.g. to the cross over Zermatt, from where you have a fantastic view!)
- visit the highest viewing plattform of Eruope and the alps on 3883 meters altitude and spot 38 4000 meter high peaks and 14 glaciers in the surrounding mountains
PLEASE NOTE:
Flying drones over the village Zermatt and the skiing area is strictly forbidden due to the close helicopter airports and swiss drone regulations! I operated my drone with a special permit from Air Zermatt.

Zermatt is still largely owned and controlled by the original farming families, such as the Julen family, who put heritage and pride over a fast dollar, that is why it is unique in preserving not only the character but the quality.
Because of this.. I now want to visit Zermatt! Thank you for being so clear and informative. It’s very helpful!
I was wondering- are the trees sick? Or do they change to that orange color during the fall season? They look like evergreen trees to me! (Oregonian)
@@torbot_ look up the larch trees of central WA, fellow Oregonian ;)
Very nice video. Enjoyable.
I lived in Vail and travelled to Brig where I got a day in Zermatt. MAGICAL! Thank you for this video! What a special place!
Thank you for the great video
Brilliant video
American Rockies have the best snow, but the Alps have THE BEST scenery and local character without question. Simply stunning.
Yes there is really nothing like a nice mountain hut at the alps for lunch. That exists nowhere else.
Japan has the best snow. I've skied in Europe, the US and Canada and the snow is not as good as Japan.
Something to do with moisture levels in the ice crystals when they form.
Try it, you won't be disappointed.
MAGNICANT
We skied Cervinia and Zermatt in 2007 - What a fantastic ski vacation! We loved it and we have fond memories of the people, vistas, and fantastic food as well as the great skiing.
Excellent video, two thumbs up 👍👍
You love the Earth.
Amazing!!!
Absolutely breathtaking thank you Lea
WOW. Just stunning editing of spectacular scenery. But your voice and story telling is what makes it very special.
Thanks - from Australia.
Thank you for that compliment! Great that you joined the journey to so much snow from sunny Australia! ☺️
@stephen glover me too. or even more in the Engadin valley, which is actually my favorite... But I doubt that will ever happen. Hahaha.
I went skiing in Zermatt back in 1992. This video brings back memories. I love to go back. Went back to Switzerland 🇨🇭 back in 2004, but did not have time to go to Zermatt. Someday.
It's all I ever wanted 🥰
I love Zermatt thank you for the memories 🙂
So very BEAUTIFUL!! I love all the old buildings. They really built things to last back then. I love history and especially the architecture back then. So amazing and beautiful.
Beautiful video 🙂❤!!!
I learned so much watching this video. Thanks so much for making it! Skiing Zermatt would be a dream 🎿
It’s really a one in a lifetime experience.
Bro ive been so many times how is it a dream? I live in the UK and go there skiing alot.
@@moneyfran877 it's a bit harder and more expensive to get there from the US, especially the west
Reminds me when I was there as child...thanks for sharing it... I was skiing too when I was a boy....more than 50 years ago,it was fun and I liked
That was a very nice view, of Zermatt you show there✌.
Magnificent and Gorgeous ❤️

I bought a Wenger watch in Zermatt over 20 years ago, and the f@kn watch still goes today. Thank you Zermatt!
So maybe you should visit Zermatt again if the watch at one point breaks?! 🤔
@@Got2Go I would be happy to. Be nice to walk around those mountains again, last time I stayed in a mountain place just below Hornli hut.

It is such an amazing place to ski. My wife and I skied there a couple of years ago. Cervinia is wonderful too, the Italian food is Incredible. Another great video, thanks
What a beautiful report from a beautiful place Lea, we used to ski with friends for 20 years in der Aletsch Arena. We made every time we went a daytrip to Zermatt, oder Saas-Fee or Crans Montana. Beautiful, every time again. Travel tipp for you (probably you did it already); The Aletsch Glacier is a visit worth wile. I love your video's and the way yo make them. It shows us a lot of all the beautiful places, and gives us a sneak peak in your heart. Thank you.
A follower from Iraq, peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you. All success, God willing, and thank you for these beautiful scenes.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Thank you so much! And hello to Iraq, would like to visit your country too at one point! 🙏🏻
If it's one thing Covid restrictions have taught me, its that Lea has/is experiencing the worlds most beautiful places and thankfully is sharing them with RUclips. I have taken advantage of many opportunities to travel but I have not been to enough, probably won't get to many more, but greatful people are sharing these types of adventures so we can see these places/people etc. Travel safe, well and far - 👍👍
Thank you! And I hope that there will as well some little or big adventures and travels come up for you - even if you don’t expect them now! Great that you are joining the journey here! ☺️

Oh wow I am envious! Guess it must be great skiing now!!!
@@Got2Go I have never seen that much powder. At some point, Zermatt was cut off from the rest of the world
Been there on Summer but i'll be going back in there on Winter...
Welcome to Norway. Been to Senja. It was stunning there...
