Trek across a wooden walkway suspended between two towering cliffs at Gorner Gorge, where a scenic waterfall plummets down a deep chasm created after the last Ice Age.

Stroll through Hinterdorfstrasse, a historic 16th-century neighborhood in Zermatt, to see traditional Swiss timber houses built on stone slabs.

Travel to the summit of Gornergrat on this mountain railway, which connects the village of Zermatt to the mountain’s peak, more than 10,000 feet above sea level.

All of this, and much more, is easily accessible from the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, a historic hotel situated beneath the towering Matterhorn. The ruggedness of the surrounding terrain gives way to the hotel’s spa, ice grotto, and on-site Michelin-starred restaurant.
