Great video & tour of one of my favorite places to ski in the world, Zermatt. To anyone thinking about visiting in winter, you should learn to ski in order to enjoy all of Zermatt as well as Cervinia, Italy.
We stay at the Zermatterhof Hotel which is magical. They even pick you up at the train in a horse drawn sleigh. Zermatt is a Swiss fantasy.
Couldn't agree more!
Great to know all these stuff.
I know right? Glad you enjoyed!
Planning a visit next month and your tips and videos are just what I need the most right now. Thank you so much.🎉
So glad you enjoyed it! Enjoy your trip!
I’m going in January 2024 so maybe we will see each other there:)
Thank you. Great job
Thanks for watching!
great video! i’m going this January and I’m excited ❤
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
How I wish to experience those places it's really awesome the views....thanks for sharing.....
Hopefully you will be able to some day! If you want to make the trip cheaper you can fly into Milan and take the train to Zermatt like we did!
Amazing and informative video! thank you for the insight, will definetly be visiting most if, not all of these places on our trip to Zermatt!!
I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful! Have fun on your trip!!
Hello everyone, great video, definitely informative and with good tips (travel pass is very important because you save money).
A little rule when eating fondue; With friends or family, we Swiss often say that if you drop bread into the fondue, you pay for a bottle of wine or a round of cherry liqueur :-P
Rösti, especially if you've been outside all day, be it skiing (which of course also goes with a fondue or raclette), hiking or whatever, simply a pleasure, with raclette cheese on top even more.
Thanks for sharing! I guess I owe Chris a bottle of wine now lol
Great video--all your tips and suggestions were exactly what I was looking for. I’m going in January 2024 and can’t wait.
Glad it was helpful! I hope you enjoy your tip, it will be amazing!
Such amazing place
It really is!
Great informative video
Thanks 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
I have been here too it’s amazing
It really is!
Amazing and very informative video - thank you 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the video. Very informative 😊
Thank you, we appreciate it!
Excellent video!!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for such detailed information, I’m going now in April and I was kind of scared as to how to get to the Glacier Palace and the cable cars. Thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Probably the best Zermatt video I’ve watched.
Thank you! We really appreciate it
Amazing informative video helps me plan the itinerary for my family going to Switzerland for 14 days starting at Zermatt Dec 11 2022 for 4 days followed by Grindelwald 4 days, Interlaken, and final stop at Lucerne..... Looking forward.
You are going to love my country I am so proud to be swiss citizen 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
That sounds like an amazing trip! I'm glad you found our video helpful, let us know if you have any questions!
You live in such an amazing country!
Looks great! It must be even better for advanced skiers and advanced drinkers-
Totally agree! We wished we knew how to ski better since we could not make it down any of the slopes
@@BrittChrisTravel only thing I can say to that, as I have been skiing for over 50 years now, is to next go to a better suited resort that caters to family skiing more. Zematt does have something for everyone but it's sheer size can be overwhelming. Plus there is a multitude of much.more affordable options as in destination resorts for skiing.
beautifful view
It really is!
Great place ain't it! I would totally visit again
It really is, we actually decided to go there after watching your Zermatt video!!
Thanks for share the information! Is the temperature very cold in February?
We went in January and it was cold, but not super cold. I think the high was about 45 degrees Far. We had to take off our ski jackets since we got hot while skiing.
Zermatt ich lieb es❤️❤️
We love it too!
Cool😍
It was!
Amazing. Thank you. Want to go to Zermatt, its expensive though hehe. How to get that swiss pass? And can u just take a smaller stages of that express train?
It can be expensive, but if you do it right it can be cheaper! The Swiss pass can be bought here www.sbb.ch/en/leisure-holidays/inspiration/international-guests/swiss-travel-pass.html
And you can do small stages of the express train! We did not do the entire thing, you just need to know what stops you want to get on and get off at. Some portions of the route are prettier than others so just look around at what portion you would like to ride. The link to those tickets can be found here. www.glacierexpress.ch/en/?chash=1ca6d9bc5b6996cf720722d6af9cf8f0&cHash=2e8554f54bfaf7cc7feb2980615439be
You can ski into Cervinia Italy but not into France not sure where she got that. I have been there and I am a PSIA Level 3 instructor(the highest level there is) you go to the top of the Klien Matterhorn (Glacier Paradise I assume) and can ski directly down into Cervinia named after Monte Cervinio (Italian for Matterhorn) which I did when I was there. But this is a good video. Grooming is great at Zermatt not sure why she was talking about ice but anything is possible. Oh and piste pronounced peeste not pissed . it's also a very honest video.
so pretty! with all the trains you took on the trip, did you book them in advance or could you just turn up there with your swiss pass and get on a train?
We did booked all of our trains in advance! It made it a lot less stressful during your trip, but the only train you really need to book in advance is the Glacier express. You could probably just hop on the other trains without booking in advance
Great video, which month did u when to Switzerland?
We went in January!
great video, honestly this gave me all the information I needed to plan my trip. My only question is that I'm only staying in Zermatt for one day, do you think I can do the last 6 mins of your video route within one day? thankyou!
Thank you! So glad our video helped. If you have a full day and you can ski I think you can do all of these things if you start first thing in the morning and watch the ski lift times, but it would be rushed! If you plan it out and cannot do all of the things, the I would skip the findlehoff restaurant since the other things are really cool!
Hi - good video, but just to point out to you that you can't (really) ski into France from Zermatt like you said. It is about 40 miles away, and whilst technically possible it would take many days of cross country skiing to make it. Italy, yes, as Cervinia is just over the border and easy to connect.
Thanks for letting us know! We were told you could but did not look into it since we can't ski well
Great video, but you may want to normalize sound level.
Have been on my list for a few years now, Switzerland is so so expensive though.
Did people bring skis on the train? Thinking of bringing my board if I ever go.
Yes# we saw tons of people with skis on the trains! It’s a lot cheaper that way and worth it
Awesome video... There is snow in the Zermatt town also. What was your exact date of travel
. Was it 29th May
We went in mid January! There was a snow storm the day before we got there
Hi.. Great experience and informative👍, is the restaurant will be served fondues on weekdays?
I think it is! www.iglu-dorf.com/en/location/zermatt this is the info regarding it
Sounds like the whole trip was "AMAZZZING" 🤣
It was! I couldn't find a better word to describe it lol
As a Swiss, I've never seen anyone hold a fondue fork this badly... in my life. I want this fact to resonate with you for a while. Also, dropping the bread into the pot is a crime.
when did you take the Glacier express from Andermatt? is it afternoon or morning?
We got on the train from Andermatt around 12 in the afternoon!
Is it worth going around this time of year? I would really like to hike the 5 rivers hike (Blauherd-Sunnega) and check out the igloo if possible... I do not know how to ski :( Also, what's the best + budget-friendly way to get to Zermatt from Zurich to the hiking area and take some photos of the Matterhorn
If possible try to go about mid December since thats when they start the Iglu Durf and other winter activities. Heres the link to the website with the start date www.iglu-dorf.com/en/location/zermatt
Chris also did not know how to ski so he took some lessons if thats something you are interested in! It is steep though so be ready for that if you go.
To get to Zermatt you will have to take a train, i'm not sure which is cheapest. There are tons of websites to find the cheapest train and they usually are not too expensive.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
you cannot do the normal hikes in outside of summer, the zermatt page has the relevant info. just be prepared this is a relatively expensive trip. You would probably take the train from zurich i don't see any other way really. Then if you want to take the lifts to go up & down, count on 100$ or more.
hey! Which is the better time to visit? Late october or early december? We know most gondolas can be closed in october, so is december a great idea? Thanks!
We would recommend December! We went in January and it was the perfect amount of snow. Also you will want to do the gondolas since you will need them to get to the glacier palace!
Do we have to do the eight hours of glacier express? What if we don’t have time? Also, travelling in Switzerland seems to involve moving hotels quite a lot. How can we capture the beauty of Switzerland without changing hotels too often? I have an elderly with me. Great channel! Thanks
No you do not need to do 8 hours on the Glacier express. You can get on at anyone of their stops, so you pick where you want to get on and off at. The link to their site is here. www.glacierexpress.ch/en/
What we did was ride the glacier express one day to Zermatt so we could see all of Switzerland, and then we only stayed in Zermatt so we would not have to change hotels. If you are traveling with an elderly person be careful in winter since there can be snow/ice on the sidewalks!
also switzerland is pretty small so you can already get really far by car or train in up to two hours:)
@@ch-ek9rz exactly! the glacier expressed take a bit longer though since it goes slow
Hey could you also talk about booking all this stuff? Like the ski lessons, the glacier express and all other bits please? Did you book it all in advance before you went or did it at the time? What’s the process like. Renting the ski equipment. Please.
We are going to publish a more detailed video about that stuff, but for now here's the details! If you are going to book things, book in advance! The only thing we did not buy in advance was the lift tickets.
We had ski lessons with Apline Ski School which can be booked here www.alpine-ski-school.com
The Glacier Express can be booked here www.glacierexpress.ch/en/?chash=1ca6d9bc5b6996cf720722d6af9cf8f0&cHash=2e8554f54bfaf7cc7feb2980615439be
The Swiss travel pass can be bought here www.sbb.ch/en/leisure-holidays/inspiration/international-guests/swiss-travel-pass.html
We rented ski equipment here www.matterhornsport.ch/en/ski-rental
The process for renting gear is easy, you go and pick it up they fit you and you bring it back to the hotel. Almost all hotels have a ski gear room where you can leave your gear over night!
Let me know if you have any more questions!
@@BrittChrisTravel Thank you! this is so helpful :)
non e' lo scopo del video. per avere le risposte a certe domande basta munirsi di un po' di pazienza, di un foglietto e matita, un telefono o una connessione internet e si programma quello che si vuole al prezzo aggiornato. e' esattamente la stessa cosa se si vuole andare in egitto o al mar morto. un video deve essere chiaro, e questo lo e', sull'ambiente che si trovera', le lingue utili per farsi capire, i migliori mezzi di trasporto da tutto il mondo (ti sta dicendo treno, ma se proprio insisti per auto o elicotteri sono problemi tuoi), temperature probabili invernali ed estive, tipo di abbigliamento consigliato (ma le prada come scarpe e le Louis Vittuon come borse sono una chiccheria in ogni stagione consigliata solo ai ricconi che vanno a Zermatt), una certa preferenza per gli ambienti domestici nelle ore serali e notturne (ma solo per via dei rigori delle temperature perche' se tu sei una sportiva non hai quei limiti)
@@saverasavera3652 You're welcome! Let us know if you have any more questions!
Hi there , im just looking for some information about visiting IGLU dorf for the day like yourselves please . We will be in Zermatt . how much is it to get there by the train , and do you pay to walk around IGLU Dorf itself ? thank you .
Keith
You will take the Gornergrat train which is about 22 CHF according to their website www.zermatt.ch/en/zermatt/experience/detail/Gornergrat-Ticket-Winter-TDS00020013659940046?globalReset=1&lang=en#/
You do not need to pay anything to walk around IGLY Dorf itself! There are no tickets just food options you can buy while you are there. Here is their website that may help explain more along with walking directions. www.iglu-dorf.com/en/location/zermatt
hey guys. thank you for sharing these info. kindly can you tell if someone travel in the car where we can go upto? which one is best hotel which is near to travel to zermatt?
We did not travel by car so I am not sure but this link should have everything you need to know! www.zermatt.ch/en/arrival/Arrival-by-car
We would like to know more about the prices and restaurants and what you eat and accommodation of course.
Food: It was pricey to eat out, about $15 to $20 per meal. Zermatt is known for having Michelin star restaurants so you can end up spending a lot. We only ate at a few times since the prices were high. Our favorite places we ate Findlerhof which is number 4 in the video, the Roti was about $15 each. My other favorite was the igloo Fondue which is number 3. We went to Cooper grocery store where they had pre-made items that were a lot cheeper.
Accommodation: Sadly, the hotel we stayed at is now closed. It was called Sunstar Hotel. I think they may be redoing it so hopefully it will reopen. We like to use hotels.com for booking though since you can find great prices and get stamps you can redeem later!
Let me know if you have any more questions!

The thing is, Zermatt is a Luxury Resort. If you have money to go to Monaco go. If not... You'll only bring pain above people who don't deserve more pain. You've people who don't sleep night over night so that you can have snow on the slops and no snow on the street. Otherwise you would not even been able to walk around the street.
Welcome.
If I’m arriving at Geneva airport what’s the best stop for me to get on the glacier express to Zermatt I’ve been pulling my hair throwing my itinerary together 😅
That’s so exciting! We actually took a train from Italy to Switzerland and never went to Geneva so we aren’t sure. But you should check the path of the glacier express and see if there is a train that can take you to one of those stations from Geneva
have u been to courchevel? courchevel or zermatt?
Very useful video, we'll be staying in Zermatt for 3 nights in next May & thanks for the tips! BTW, I thought Zermatt is pronounced as 'Ser Met'?
Glad you enjoyed our video! When we went we heard it as Zermatt but we could be wrong lol
tzèrmat
Exactly... Matt, not Mont!
Is there easy transport between the train and your hotel?
If you want, you can hire one of the electric cars to come get you. But the town was so small. We just walked from the train station to our hotel, which was probably only a 5 to 10 minute walk since the town is so small. I would contact your hotel to see what transportation options they have from the train if you’re concerned.
Hello. Can you give insight if the trip is possible with small children?
I think so. They have classes for skiing for children if they have never skied before. Very safe town!
I`m from Zermatt
Can I ask if you stayed in the same hotel the whole time in Zermontt? Did you have to take taxi to travel to the destinations you shared or did you manage with the cheapest travel option (not sure what it will be?… train? Bus?)
We did stay in the same hotel the entire time in Zermatt! We never rode in a taxi, the town is so small you can walk the entire thing easily. We took the gongerat train to get up into the mountains when we hiked but that was it. We took the glacier express into Zermatt, which is not the cheapest to get there but it is worth it. Let me know if you have any more questions!
I'm glad you said that! She kept saying Zermont so much I thought she really thought it was Mont and not Matt! One time sounded like she said Vermont! I had to stop watching!
can we go to iglu hotel without skiing? thank you
Yes you can! We did not ski to the iglu, you take the gornergrat train and get off and walk. Here is the link to the directions of how to get there www.iglu-dorf.com/storage/app/media/Anreisebeschriebe/Zermatt/ID_Zermatt_Anreise_Tag_EN_202021.pdf
And here is a link to the website: www.iglu-dorf.com/en/location/zermatt
May I know this video is filmed during which month? As I am going there in March next year, still deciding which area to stay in Zermatt😅
This was filmed in January of 2022! If you are staying in Zermatt the town is pretty small so anywhere you stay will be close to everything!
Can you tell us where the Riedment viewpoint exactly? I tried putting riedment viewpoint on map but it’s not showing up .
Do you mean Riedweg viewpoint? If so this explains how to get there www.zermatt.ch/en/Media/Attractions/Viewpoint-Riedweg. If that’s not what you are talking about let me know!
how much does the train to iglu dorf cost with swiss travel pass?
The Swiss travel pass will give you half off of the current price, the link to the train is here since the price may change gornergratbahn.zermatt-tickets.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiA76-dBhByEiwAA0_s9TfVXLUUGXk078zqKgG_OcRB2xZ7go8g919If0QdVy50ylznSWkGXRoCnbIQAvD_BwE
Hai Britt, may i know which month is this? is it in February?
Great question, this was in Mid-January
You can ski in zermat
Yes you can!
You can get the international ski pass to ski into Italy! You cannot ski from Zermatt to France!
Eat fondue in town so the cheese will stay hot and taste better! Rothorn and Kleinmatterhorn Restaurants are mediocre at best!
To experience why Zermatt is the #1 ski resort in the world (in my opinion) you need to be able to ski at a moderate level!
My computer countdown says ”32” and I will be back for the 28th time. Can’t wait!
So exciting, hope you enjoy your trip!
Well, you can enter Zermatt also with a taxi, not just with the train. 😉
Oh I guess you could but it stops outside of town and then you would have to get another electric taxi to get to your hotel! We found the train was the easiest and most relaxing.
Hope many days would you recommend to spend in Zermatt?
I would recommend a minimum of 3 days! there's a lot to do even if you are not skiing like sliding, hiking, and tons of attractions to visit in the small town. We stayed 5 days and only went skiing one day and we still never ran out of things to do.
@@BrittChrisTravel thanks, this is great to know. I booked 5 days but I’m already worried we will be bored 😂.
How many feet high? Lol I would be so scared, but I wanna do it.
If you are scared of heights I would not recommend skiing since the mountains are pretty steep, but you should be fine for the glacier paradise! Its about 12,740 feet above sea level, so pretty high!
@@BrittChrisTravel thanks and yeah that’s the only thing I wanna do up there is the Glacier Paradise and look at Italy.
@@JayEMGetsFit You should do it then! The gondola ride is pretty steep to get up there but if you just look up its not as bad lol
You can go to Zermatt also by taxi or helicopter!
That is great! But if you have the money to go by helicopter more power to you!
And the taxi stops on the outskirts of town and then you would have to transfer to another smaller electric taxi
I wish my town banned cars lol
Me too it was really nice!
That’s my dream!
Mad person
Is Zermont near Vermont?
No 😂 its very far
Right?!
did you ski?
Yes we did! In our video you can watch videos of us skiing!
Hi i live in switzerland in am right now in zermatt
That is amazing! Any recommendations on other fun winter places to go there?
@@BrittChrisTravel yes mybe sass-fee or grimentz i ride it rong but yea
Excellent video. Zermatt is definitely a city with a unique and breathtaking beauty in the whole world. As such, I only add one point for everyone who sees this video. Natural beauty is free, but what is respectfully served to all visitors is the fruit of a lot of hard, hard work. Most of the people who live there, live to serve for the welfare of visitors. Therefore, respect them. Collect between 500chf and 1000chf and be kind to workers who dedicate all their energy and health to your well-being. If someone carries your 25kg bags for you, why not thank that person with a 10chf or 20chf bill? If a ski instructor lifts you off the ground and helps you on with your boots, why not thank them with a 20chf bill or two? If someone makes your bed and washes your breakfast dishes every day, why not thank them with a 50chf bill?
Something has unfortunately been missing lately in Zermatt: gratitude.
No, no one is oblidged to, it is just gratitude.
Glad you enjoy the video! And it’s always nice to tip
4. Europe.
Yes.
When im in zermatt i onky ski 🤣
That is awesome 🤣 you will have to try out more things next time!
@@BrittChrisTravel no we will not because we live in switzerland and we only like skiing
Daam how expensive this it. If I traveled to Switzerland they should take every dollar I have for the rest of my life. Nooh when I be millionaire then can i travel to Switzerland.
It’s one of the more expensive places, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done cheaply! We flew into Milan for about $700 and took the train into Switzerland to save money. Eating out was pricey so we started eating premade meals from the grocery store. If you plan it right it’s not that expensive!
Zermont? Zer Matt
Jesus it's Zermatt not Zermont
Thanks for watching!
Hey great video. Just wanted to feed back that your music is much louder than your voice. Pretty distracting. And it’s very repetitive.
Sorry about that, we will try to lower it in future videos
You can t ski to France from Zermatt , you are really tellung a lot of wrong thinks!
Our bad. It is between Zermatt, Switzerland and Italy.

Unfortunately we were not good enough skiers to test this trail out 🤣
Kulm Hotel , NOT Klum !!!
We are dyslexic!
@@BrittChrisTravel It's KO...
Matt! Zermatt. Not Mont. Sorry, couldnt watch after the tenth time in the first few minutes, and the music is so loud a lot of your words were eaten. Could've been a great video, but didnt get very far.
Your voice is very quiet. Wish you'd spoken louder.
Its zermatt not zermawt
Cool!
Please learn to pronounce names because this was really difficult to listen. It’s not zermont it’s zerMatt
Roti😂😂
We may be saying it wrong but it was really good!
@@BrittChrisTravel Rösti is really good I agree! Happy you enjoyed your time in Zermatt
@@evaghidinelli8885 Thanks!
Too much vocal fry. Is it deliberate?
Not sure what that is, that’s just my voice lol
Americans...
What's with all of the mask-wearing propaganda?
Hello, thanks for filming and the information 🫶🏽 how long do you were there? Because we want to go there too but only for 2 Days maybe, is it enough to see and experience the most things of your list? 🫶🏽
I think we were there for 4 nights and 5 days! We packed everything in those days so you maybe rushed with only 2 days. Just pick the things you really want to see/do since you will not be able to do all of them. The good thing though is it gives you a reason to go back eventually!
