To prevent air pollution which could obscure the town’s view of the Matterhorn, the entire town is a combustion-engine car-free zone, so the cars must be left in the neighboring town, Täsch (5 km away). From the nearby town of Täsch, most visitors reach Zermatt by cog railway train.

As soon as you get into Zermatt, you will see everywhere flags with emblem of the city, the beautiful old houses of Zermatt, flower pots on balconies of hotels and chalets and souvenir shops.

Being a top luxury resort, Zermatt attracts both skiers and mountain climbing enthusiasts, but the real mountaineers can be seen on trails along glaciers.
