Summer skiing in Zermatt

Skiing in summer is a bucket-list must. Take to the snow while the village enjoys summer temperatures.

Longing to go skiing? The cable car takes you from Zermatt via Furi and Trockener Steg up to the Klein Matterhorn at 3,883 metres above sea level. Once you are there: put on your skis and enjoy snow sports on 21 kilometres of runs. The Zermatt-Matterhorn destination is the largest and highest summer skiing area in Europe.

For summer skiing, we recommend dressing like you would on a warm ski day in spring. To enjoy the best runs on the Theodul Glacier, we recommend an early start in the morning. Conditions are best before the morning sun becomes stronger. The summer ski area closes at midday to ensure great conditions the following day too.

It's great news for freestyle fans too, with the Zermatt Summer Snowpark part of the summer ski resort. As one of the highest freestyle spots in the Alps, it is one of the best snow parks in the Alpine region.

If you are looking to improve your ski style, the ski schools have summer offers. You can also hire any equipment at the sports shops in Zermatt, ensuring that nothing stands in the way of your summer snow sports experience.
