Overview

Discover the rich heritage of Zermatt on a walking tour through one of Switzerland’s most iconic Alpine villages. Begin at the historic Pfarrkirche St. Mauritius, a landmark deeply connected to the town’s cultural and religious traditions. Nearby, visit the Mountaineer’s Cemetery, a powerful memorial honoring climbers who shaped the legacy of Alpine exploration. Continue to the fascinating Matterhorn Museum – Zermatlantis, where exhibits reveal the dramatic story of the first ascent of the Matterhorn and the evolution of mountain life in this remote region. Walk across the scenic Kirchbrücke bridge for beautiful views of traditional chalets before wandering along Hinterdorfstrasse, one of the village’s oldest streets lined with preserved wooden houses. The tour also includes the historic Kirche St. Peter’s area and insights into the legendary Gornergrat Railway, one of the world’s most remarkable mountain railways connecting visitors to breathtaking Alpine panoramas.
