Zermatt – Matterhorn eclipses everything this summer!

The Statue of Liberty in New York? The Eiffel Tower in Paris? The Burj al Arab in Dubai? The beaches of the Maldives? They can wait! Because in summer 2026, the Matterhorn and Zermatt – with a slight wink – eclipse everything else.

In light of geopolitical uncertainties, volatile travel markets, and a growing desire for reliability, Zermatt Tourism is deliberately focusing on proximity in summer 2026. With a predominantly nationally oriented focus campaign, the destination is specifically targeting Swiss residents, inviting them to spend their summer holidays consciously at home – in one of Switzerland’s most iconic and versatile mountain destinations.

At the heart of the campaign is the Matterhorn, Switzerland’s iconic landmark and one of the most famous mountains in the world. The visual concept plays with its symbolic power: the Matterhorn “eclipses everything” – both literally and figuratively. Striking visuals showcase world-famous places and landmarks overshadowed by the distinctive silhouette of the Matterhorn. The imagery is intentionally reduced and pointed, unfolding its impact without explanatory words. The visual experience clearly takes center stage.

With the summer focus campaign 2026, Zermatt Tourism underlines its strategic direction of strengthening the domestic market and inspiring Swiss guests for mountain holidays in the long term. Zermatt is not positioning itself as a loud alternative, but as an obvious, compelling choice – for all those who want to focus on quality, safety, and nature this summer.
