Highlights of Zermatt
The Matterhorn is Zermatt’s crown jewel – instantly recognisable, endlessly inspiring. While most admire it from afar, our private Matterhorn tours from Zermatt unlock unique ways to experience it: sunrise hikes with a local guide, helicopter flights over snow-dusted peaks where you can land on remote glaciers, or quiet vantage points where the crowds never reach.
Climbing nearly 3,100 metres, the Gornergrat Railway is one of the world’s most scenic train journeys. The panorama at the top reveals 29 peaks above 4,000 metres – a spectacle that makes this a highlight of any Zermatt tour itinerary. With insider planning, we’ll ensure you travel at the best time of day for photography and tranquillity.

Perfect for adventurous families or couples, it’s a favourite for those seeking unforgettable day trips from Zermatt that feel like stepping into another world.
Accessible by funicular, Sunnegga offers sunlit terraces and flower-filled meadows in summer, and ski runs that glow under winter skies. Continue to Rothorn for unrivalled Matterhorn views, which are especially striking at sunrise. These mountain spots make an ideal stop on private Zermatt hiking tours, blending natural beauty with easy accessibility.
Hinterdorfstrasse is Zermatt’s oldest street, lined with centuries-old wooden chalets and barns. Walking here feels like stepping back in time, offering a glimpse of traditional alpine life. Many of our bespoke tours in Zermatt include a guided stroll through this historic quarter, where stories of the village’s past come alive with every timbered facade.
Perhaps the most photographed lake in Switzerland, Riffelsee reflects the Matterhorn perfectly on clear days – a mirror-like image that feels almost surreal. It’s a highlight of many Zermatt hiking tours, especially at sunrise when the mountain glows pink and gold. For photography enthusiasts and romantics, Riffelsee is a must-see.
