💡 Local insights
- ·Klein Matterhorn at 3,883 m is Europe's highest skiing — open year-round, even in summer.
- ·For powder, head to Stockhorn the morning after a snowfall — ungroomed and rarely tracked.
- ·Eat at Chez Vrony or Findlerhof for the best mountain lunch in the Alps.
- ·Cross-border ski day to Cervinia (IT) is on every Zermatt pass — go for cheaper lunch and Italian sun.
