About Zermatt and the Gornergrat
Zermatt is a car-free village in the canton of Valais, set at the foot of the Matterhorn. The Gornergrat rises above it on a cog railway and is known for panoramic views of the surrounding Pennine Alps and glaciers. The landscape is stark and glacial, with rock, snow and wide skies that feel very different from the valley below.
What to watch and when
Depending on the view, you may see high ridges, snowfields and the movement of clouds around the peaks. Mornings often bring clearer air, while afternoon cloud can build quickly over the mountains. Changes in snow cover and light are most visible in the early morning and near sunset, when the summits take on warm colours.
Practical notes for visiting
Zermatt has a mountain climate, with cold winters that suit skiing and cooler summers that suit hiking. Summer tends to be the most reliable season for views, though conditions change quickly at this altitude, so bring warm layers even in July. The nearby Riffelberg station and Hohtälli cameras can help you judge weather higher up before you set out.
