Black-Necked Goats Parade Through Zermatt

For six weeks every summer, a herd of around 50 Black-Necked Goats makes its way through Bahnhofstrasse each morning and evening. Hundreds of visitors line the street to admire and photograph the distinctive black-and-white goats and their kids. Be sure to capture your own picture of what may well be the most photographed goats in the world.



Morning: approximately between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.

Evening: approximately between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.



As our goats have their very own personalities—and therefore their own sense of timing—these times should be considered rough guidelines only. Thank you for your understanding if the herd sets off a little earlier or later than expected.



During major events in the village, the herd is guided along the Vispa River via Bachstrasse.

Come and party with us at Bazaar! Enjoy refreshing drinks and dance with your friends to the music of FEDE. Entry is free.
