4 Best Ski Passes Worth the Investment This Winter
"If you plan on doing a lot of international travel this season, the Ikon Pass is a great way to make your way around the world to far-off resorts like Zermatt Matterhorn in Switzerland." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"The Matterhorn Just as Rome has the Colosseum and Paris the Eiffel Tower, so Switzerland has the Matterhorn. Located above Zermatt, this 48,195-foot wonder attracts hordes of visitors, eager to see the morning sunlight beam off its four faces, ski its neighboring mountains, or even attempt to climb the beast itself. The Matterhorn, however, is not for the faint-hearted and has claimed the lives of more than 500 people since it was first scaled in 1865—an average of 12 per year. It’s also been replicated at Disneyland in California as a rollercoaster."

"For anyone who could use an imaginary ski trip to the Swiss Alps right about now, Matterhorn just launched an “après all day” takeout box." - Eater Staff
We went during Christmas season, beautiful place to spend a complete day here. The view of Matterhorn from level 2 of the gondola is spectacular. There are good restaurants for food and drinks as well.

In my experience it was way better than Jungfrau. My family loved it. You can take the tram to the second to last stop and start walking down along the track for a beautiful view of the lake, the top of the mountain, the valley.

The Matterhorn is a must-see in Switzerland. Only after the trip did I realize how many different views of the Matterhorn I had captured. It truly is a mountain that draws your eye from every direction. Whether gazing up from the charming town of Zermatt or taking the train for a panoramic view from above, each perspective offered its own unique beauty. Some accommodations in Zermatt offer stunning views of this mountain, perfect for admiring it right from your window. We enjoyed seeing the Matterhorn in the morning, afternoon, and night, and the spectacular view looked breathtaking at every hour.

This was pinnacle Switzerland for me. I have seen so much beauty in this country, but this almost symmetrical mountain is mesmerizing. I did the Edelweiss trail (veered off a few times), and it was a solid 2.5- 3 hour up hill hike. I didn't make it to a "summit" just close enough to see some snow drift on the mountain and feel the cold winds. There are so many picturesque views of flowers, sheep, cows, and alps. I would recommend a stay in Zermatt just so you could wake up to that view. It is definitely a busy town and a lot of respect for the residents, and environment is required.

The Matterhorn famed triangle (pyramid) peak is certainly the main reason coming to Zermatt. It's on the Toblerone chocolate bar, and one of Switzerland main attractions.
We were absolutely thrilled with our visit
