Dominated by the stunning scenery of the Matterhorn, Zermatt's pluses can be summarised as follows - awesome scenery; amazing mountain restaurants; fantastic and varied skiing (also linked to Cervinia in Italy); a charming and predominantly traffic-free town, bar the electric taxis; great snow high up; all sorts of nightlife for everybody; great shopping; masses of non-skiing activities to enjoy; a glacier for year-round skiing; good accommodation; a cosmopolitan crowd; excellent boarding provision. Apart from all that, it's quite a good resort
Night Life:
Aprés-ski is excellent here, ranging from informal and very good value with a traffic free village square boasting unpretentious and friendly restaurants to the top and 5 star hotels and restaurants.
Aprés-ski ranges from quiet informal cafes to lively bars with music and rock bands. There are bars for every taste, and night clubs with dancing until dawn, if you have the energy! Night clubs are generally free entry and they and the main bars offer a number of theme nights as well.
Drinks prices are very good value for a top ski resort (from only CHF5.50 - approx £4 - for a pint) and Zermatt's famous mountain restaurants are reasonably priced and with excellent food. Restaurants vary from traditional pizzas from about £10, to American, Mexican, Chinese - in fact cuisine from every country in the world - and of course the Swiss specialities. All food is of a very high quality.
