Zermatt
Imagine your family surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Swiss Alps. That's Zermatt! On a recent trip, we discovered it's a truly magical place. From incredible skiing and breathtaking mountain views to cozy dinners and special family moments, our time in Zermatt was unforgettable.
Arriving in a Car-Free Paradise:
Our adventure started with a beautiful train ride from Zurich – a relaxing way to travel right into the heart of Switzerland. When we arrived in car-free Zermatt, we were greeted by charming chalets, snow-covered peaks, and the famous Matterhorn. The fresh mountain air and twinkling lights created a welcoming atmosphere for our winter vacation. We chose Hotel Christiania, a comfortable and luxurious hotel that felt perfect for families.

Skiing Adventures for Everyone:
Zermatt is known as one of the best ski destinations in the world, and we couldn't wait to hit the slopes! Our son, Sebbie, had a fantastic time at Zermatters ski school. The instructors were friendly and helped him gain confidence. Meanwhile, we explored different ski areas, from the gentle slopes of Sunnegga to the exciting trails of Gornergrat and the amazing Theodul Glacier. There was something for every skier in our family!

A Delicious Taste of the Alps:
You can't visit Zermatt without trying the delicious Swiss food, and we certainly did! We enjoyed a yummy fondue at Say Cheese, a cozy restaurant that's perfect for families. For a casual meal, Da Giuseppe’s was a hit, serving tasty Italian dishes that Sebbie loved. (Consider a photo of the fondue)
One of the best meals of our trip was at Potato, where we had an incredible tasting menu. Since we had a babysitter for Sebbie that night, we were able to relax and enjoy every dish. If you love food, we highly recommend it! (Consider a stunning picture of the food)
Relaxing Afternoons at the Spa:
After skiing all morning, we loved spending our afternoons at the spa. The sauna, steam room, and pool at Hotel Christiania were the perfect place to relax and warm up. It quickly became one of our favorite parts of the trip, giving us a great balance of adventure and relaxation. (Consider an atmospheric photo of the spa)
Exploring More Than Just the Slopes:
While skiing was our main activity, we also explored other fun things to do in Zermatt. We went ice skating in the village, took a pretty walk to Gorner Gorge, and bought Swiss chocolates and souvenirs. We even snuck away for a quick drink at Elsie’s Wine and Champagne Bar, enjoying the special Alpine atmosphere.
