And\u00a0<b>one of the most popular ski resorts in Europe<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Located at 1606 mt of altitude, <b>most of the ski runs around Zermatt are covered in snow also in summer<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Furthermore, the surrounding landscape is overlooked by the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Matterhorn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matterhorn, or <b>Mount Cervino<\/b><\/a>. Because of its <b>pyramidal shape, this is <\/b>one of the most-photographed mountain in the world.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\">The village of Zermatt<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">In Zermatt you can enjoy the <b>traditional atmosphere of an Alpine village<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">30 <b>wooden buildings in the Walser architectural style<\/b>, dating back to the 16th-18th centuries, are still standing at its <b>historic center.<\/b>\u00a0 <b>Monuments<\/b> and <b>fountains<\/b> in memory of climbers and mountain guides are here and there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The entire town is a <b>pedestrian area<\/b>. Moreover, residents pay attention to the impact of their activities on the ecosystem. That\u2019s why many accommodations use <b>alternative sources of energy<\/b>, such as solar energy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/watch?v=L3RsPIy48u0&amp;ab_channel=Got2Go\" width=\"785\" height=\"442\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">From a village to a ski resort<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The tourist fortune of Zermatt is due to its <b>proximity to Matterhorn<\/b>\u00a0(4478 mt).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">From 1857 onwards many attempted to climb this mountain, but <b>the first ascent was completed by the British Edward Whymper only in 1865<\/b>. It was both a success and a tragedy since 4 of the 7 climbers died from a broken rope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, from that moment Zermatt changed from a small village to a <b>famous destination among climbers and, later, skiers<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Skiing in Zermatt<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Zermatt ski resort includes <b>360 kilometers of ski runs and snowboard slopes<\/b> surrounded by towering peaks and equipped with excellent ski lifts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition to skiing, in Zermatt there are <b>facilities for ice sports<\/b>, alternative sports, tobogganing, and trails for snowshoeing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And once you are tired of all this physical activity, you can relax in one of the many <b>spas and wellness centers<\/b> in town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zermatt, the village of the Matterhorn Zermatt is a charming village in the Canton of Valais, Switzerland.
