Summer as well is a good season to take a trip and get closer to Matterhorn, the peak of all peaks standing at 4 500m above sea level. 400km of hiking trails will lead you to magnificent spots around Zermatt, passing across the glaciers and along charming alpine lakes. Mountain cable cars will lift you up to reach the highest trails and continue your way on. The Zermatt Alpine Centre will organize for you a guided trip, including a visit to the glacier. You can stop by in some of the cosy alpine restaurants and indulge into the splendid atmosphere, having a delicious meal and drink.
