Zermatt- one of the most prestigions resorts of the earth

The mountain village of Zermatt is one of the great ski and climbing centres of the world. Nestled in a deep valley enclosed between steeply scarped mountains, it is dominated by the huge and gracefully curved pyramid of the Matterhorn. Despite Zermatt’s popularity, despite it’s growth – more than 13000 visitors’ beds – it is still only a village, open and friendly, where people mix happily in the main street, mercifully free of cars, and dance the night away in the many rendezvous at hand. There are bars, restaurants and night-spots to suit every taste and pocket.

The small area around Zermatt features 36 mountains over 4000m, a statistic as enticing to summer hikers as to winter skiers. The first hotel opened in 1838. All through the nineteenth century, word of the place spread, and the local community quickly saw the potential: grand hotels went up and public funds were diverted into construction of the Gornergrat rack railway at the turn of the century. The skiing boom of the 1960s saw the hamlet double in size, but today it’s still acceptably small and low-key, rooted to the valley floor in a natural bowl open to the south. Zemrat is a resort located in Swiss Alps. It is most luxury point for tourists, skiing-sports and rock climbers. The humans that love extreme pleasures, harmonized with the appropriate setting, are always good they had come here. It is full despite this as well in the entire year.

The apartments are beautiful and expansive, are appointed so can satisfy as well the most erratic tourist.An unforgettable play of colours and the unique panorama from the Rothorn Paradise combine to make this sunrise excursion an unforgettable experience. The eternal ice glows pink and the Matterhorn slowly comes to life with the first rays of sunlight. After the spectacular sunrise, visitors recharge their batteries with a hearty buffet breakfast at the Rothorn Restaurant.

The world’s highest glacier palace, approximately 15 metres under the surface of the glacier, and the various glacial splits and gaps, can all be explored in amazement. Discrete lighting and spherical sounds accompany this small wonder of the glacial world. Information about the creation of the palace, glaciology and wine, and the fascinating sculpture skilfully honed from the ice all add up to a very special experience.

Great temptation is the downhill in 10 kilometer, the road Ventina, for skiing or snowboard of which. But this that attracts much tourists is Matterhorn. Matterhorn- This is the most known reef in Alps , his stature is 4 478m. It is located on the limit between Switzerland and Italy, it is cleared of 14 July 1865, from group of crags men ahead for the first time for Eduard Wimper.

Zermatt it will go in your consciousness always as a character of the rocky mountainous beauty. Zermatt is an experience in itself: this one little village which has managed, much to its credit, to cling on to its old brown chalets and atmospheric twisting alleys  welcomes everybody, regardless of financial status, and the station square is where all worlds collide.
