Zermatt lies at the foot of some of the most magnificent mountains in the Alps. There are many excellent hiking and mountain trails in the area around Zermatt. Zermatt itself is a nice town with many great hotels, restaurants and shops. I've visited Zermatt twice and on both occasions I had a wonderful time.
